Soddy Greenway 4.21.15

It was a great day for a hike.  The only problem encountered was that the water was too high to cross the creek.  The group split up and and some hiked the greenway twice and the remainder hiked over to Sluder Lane and then back to the main trail.  I would rate the hike as mostly easy.  If you would like to see a bunch of pictures, click here or on the Soddy Greenway tab above.
