Leggett Road 7.2.16

Just John and George on this approximately 10 mile hike to the Rock Creek Bridge and back.  I has been extremely hot so I imagine that this is keeping hikers home instead of on the trail.  On the way back from the bridge, this pair of hikers did a little needed trail maintenance.  If you would like to see a few pictures, click here or on the Leggett Road tab above.  Please notice the May Apple picture that George took.  On some of the other pictures, I think that George had a bit of a smear on the lens.

White Oak Mtn. 6.28.16

This was an approximately 4.5 mile hike that I would rate as moderate.  The weather was very warm, in the high 80's, but there was some occasional cloud cover.  A total of seven hikers came out for this one.  Everyone had a very nice hike.  Unfortunately, there were no pictures taken so you are out of luck if you are looking.

There were only three hikers on this hike.  This is probably because the weather was so hot.  I think it was probably in the low 90's during the hike.  The hikers were Sarah, Joy and George.  After talking it over, the hike was switched from Cloudland Canyon to Soddy Gulf.  The hike was about 4.5 miles and I would rate it as moderate.  When they returned to the trailhead, George realized that he had lost his keys.  After getting a spare key to the truck, George hiked back down the trail and was lucky enough to find his keys!  If you would like to see a couple pictures, click here or on the Soddy Gulf tab above.

Little Cedar Mountain 6.21.16

It was good to see some of my friends out on this hike.  The length of this hike was about five miles and I would rate it as moderate.  There were six hikers out on this one.  It was an extremely warm day, in the low 90's, but luckily the hike was mostly under the forest canopy.  Everyone had a very good time, but I don't know if they went to lunch afterward or not.  If you would like to see a few pictures, click here or on the Cedar Mountain tab above.

Roaring Creek 6.18.16

The hike scheduled for the 18th was Roaring Creek. The two hikers today ( John & George) decided to change the hike to explore the northern end of the trail segment under construction by CTC between the Upper Leggett and Roaring Creek Trailheads (down to the planned McGill Creek bridge). The two hiked about 5 miles (approximately 3 miles on recently constructed trail, about 1.5 miles on trail to be constructed, and a little over 0.5 miles of bushwhacking (while  following blue ribbons) looking for a waterfall near the trail
During the hike we came across a three person CTC crew working on constructing the trail. While talking with the crew we learned they are working Tuesday thru Saturday each week and would welcome some volunteer helpers. If interested please contact the CTC to coordinate work time and location.
We had only one picture due to a nearly dead telephone/camera.
