Sluder Lane to Mulbray Pike

9.17.13  Today there were eight hikers.  The hike was very good with no unforeseen happenstances.  A couple of the hikers went really fast and finished considerably ahead of the others.  The distance was five miles and I would rate this hike as moderate.  For a couple of pictures click on the Sluder Lane tab above.

Roaring Creek

9.14.13   Joan, Gail, Gloria, Larry, Boodie, Gary and John.  Perfect weather for a hike.  There was a nice cool breeze blowing that kept the warm weather in check.  I would rate this hike as moderate.  The distance was 8.5 miles.  Lunch was had on a beautiful bluff overlooking the Tennessee River Valley with both TVA nuclear plants in the background.  The only difficulty was yellow-jackets.  Seems the hikers disturbed a nest and several of the hikers received stings.  This put a damper on an otherwise great hike.

Camp Jordan 9.1013

Camp Jordan, 9.10.13  Beautiful day for a hike around Camp Jordan.  Today there were 10 people including one new couple.  The number of hikers is remaining steady at 8-14.  Everyone had a good time on the relatively short hike of 4.4 miles.  I would rate the hike as easy.  For a couple of pictures click on the Camp Jordan tab above.

Lula Lake

9.7.13  Lula Lake    We had several new faces on this hike.  The distance was about 5 miles.  I would rate this hike as moderate.  The weather was perfect and the hike turned out great.  Lula Lake is always popular.

Raccoon Mtn. 9.3.13

On this hot, humid but beautiful day, we had 12 hikers.  It was an enjoyable 3.9 mile hike except that I had a little trouble with my GPS.  We didn't see any wildlife, but the scenery along the trail was beautiful.  I would rate this hike as easy.  If you would like to see a few pictures, click on the Raccoon Mtn. tab above.  To read the poster pictures simply zoom in on them.  Select the picture, then click on the magnifying glass and then to make it even larger, click on the + - sign in the lower right corner.
