We had 6 people on this hike. It started at the Boathouse Restaurant and followed the Riverwalk to the Walnut Street Bridge. The group crossed the bridge and wandered around Coolidge Park for a while. We picked up one hiker at the bridge. The walk was a little chilly. Two of the hikers decided to have lunch at a restaurant on Market St. The distance was 5.7 miles and I would rate the hike as easy. For a couple of pictures click on the Riverwalk tab above.

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking
Flipper Bend
On this hike there were 11 hikers. We were privileged and had two hikers from the Highland Rim Club. The hike distance was about 10 miles. Unfortunately the hike leader missed a right turn and this added about 1.5 miles to the distance of the hike. Near the end of the hike a good Samaritan gave a few of the hikers a ride back to the cars to rescue the remaining hikers since it was starting to rain. They didn't get too wet! I would rate the hike as moderate. To see a few pictures, click on the Flipper Bend tab above. I would like to thank John, Larry and Nance Jo for the pictures.
Booker T. Washing SP
12.24.13 Just before Christmas, Ed, Donna, Bob, Nance Jo, Nancy, Renee & Kathy set out on a hike at Booker T. Washington State Park. I do not know what the final mileage was, but everyone made it OK. It was bitter cold to start with, but everyone warmed up once the hike was under way. I would rate the hike as easy. There is only one picture, to the right. Click on it for a larger version.
Rock Creek
12.22.13 There were 11 hikers on this hike. Seven from the Upper Cumberland Hiking Club and four from the Soddy Daisy Hiking Club. The hike was from the Retro Hughes trailhead to the Lower Leggitt trailhead. The distance was 7.5 miles. It was foggy and rainy but everyone seemed to enjoy the hike, the trail and the misty scenery. I would rate this hike as moderate. Pictures from the Upper Cumberland group and from the Soddy Daisy group can be viewed by clicking on the Rock Creek tab above.
Savage Gulf SP 12.14.13
It was a cold day with rain forecast. Since the conditions were so questionable, only two intrepid hikers dared to brave Savage Gulf. Surprisingly, both survived. The were lucky in that they didn't experience any rain. Both had a good time as can be seen in the pictures from the hike. The distance was approximately 8 miles and rated as moderate.
