Retro Hughes Trailhead 5.13.17

Ok to all of you who didn't go on this hike, you missed something special.  Everywhere you looked you could see wildflowers.  George, Boodie and John made this 7.5 mile hike.  I would rate this hike as moderate.  The weather was excellent, overcast but no rain and the temperature was perfect.  The trio had lunch at the Rock Creek Overlook.  As you can see from the photographs, the spring flowers were now coming out.  If you would like to see a bunch of beautiful photographs, click here.

Booker T Washington SP

There were eight hikers on this mostly easy hike.  The weather was absolutely perfect.  The group split in two.  Ed led one group around the outer loop which was about 3 1/2 miles and Donna led the second group on the inner loop which was about 5 1/2 miles.  Everyone had a great time.  If you would like to see one additional picture, click here.

Chickamauga Creek.

George and John hiked from the trailhead  to the Boston Branch Overlook and return. The creeks were running very well today due to all the rainfall we've had lately. A couple of the crosstrail creeks were running so well that they had to be waded in places.  The day was very overcast with occasional rain.  

This hike is rated as moderately strenuous with the distance being about 5 miles.

Audubon Trail 5.2.17

On today's hike there were seven human hikers and one hike leader Maddie (K9).  The hike distance was approximately three miles downhill to the cabin at the bottom.  The human leader of this hike was Renee, the queen of Sale Creek.  The temperature was in the mid 70's with no wind.  The group did manage to flush a wild turkey that made quite a ruckus trying to get airborne amidst the foliage.   There were several trees down, but nothing could stop this group.  I would rate the hike as easy, as long as they didn't attempt the return hike.  There was plenty of water along the way as there had been lots of rain in the preceding days.  If you would like to see several pictures, click here.

McGill Creek 4.30.17

George and Boodie decided to take their own hike to McGill Creek.  As you can see from the pictures, they had a great time.  They started early in order to get there and back before it became too hot.  I would rate this hike as moderate.  I you would like to see a whole lot of pictures, click here.
