Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Flipper Bend 1.23.16

I apologize for some confusion here.  The hike was supposed to be at Flipper Bend, but the description indicates that it was somewhere else.  If I get the correct data I will correct the blog.  I only report it as I receive it as I was not on this hike.
It was really cold on this hike which is probably the reason that there were only two hikers!  They started at North Chick and hiked up to the first creek crossing but the water was too swift to cross.  They then went back down and walked along the creek and took some pictures for approximately two miles.  Then they went to Big Soddy Gulf and walked to Board Camp Creek and back for an additional 2-1/2 miles.  If you would like to see some pictures (I don't know how they worked the camera when it was so cold?) click here or on the Flipper bend tab above.
Correction; because of closures, the hike was at North Chickamauga Creek and Big Soddy Gulf.  

Cloudland Canyon 1.19.16

This hike was on the Sitton Gulch trail.  It was a bunch of hardy hikers that went on this hike.  It was very cold as you can see from the pictures.  The falls were roaring and there were plentiful icicles.  If you would like to see a bunch of pictures, click here or on the Cloudland tab above.

Prentice Cooper 1.16.16

Very enjoyable hike.  If you would like to see some views click here or the Prentice Cooper tab above.
