Roaring Creek

10.16.12  Caroline, Nance Jo, Sarah, Renee, Donna, Roger, Boodie, McBob, George, Larry, Ed, Earl  What a perfect day for a hike!  It started out cool and warmed up to maybe 70F.  Roaring Creek was full of water and really "roaring".  It was beautiful.  The first mile of the hike is pretty flat following along the creek.  Then the trail moves away from the creek and climbs for about another mile.  Nobody else was using the trail so we had it all to ourselves.  There were several trees down that we had to either cut our way through or climb over.  Their location was noted so that the rangers could come back and cut them down.  Once we reached the end of the trail we had a great sunshiny view over the valley.  We could really see a great distance.  The distance of this hike was 4.6 miles and I would rate it as moderate.  For a few pictures click HERE or on the Roaring Creek tab above.

Laurel Falls

9.2.12   Sarah, Donna, Renee, Earl, Ed, George, McBob  Overcast all day, but no rain.  We had a great time and nobody fell while traversing the rocky area.  There was lots of water in the creek and going over the falls which made it very pretty.  I would rate the hike as moderate and I think we went about 4.2 miles.

Greenway Farms

9.25.12  Amy, Gail, Donna, Sarah, Renee, Shirley, Nance Jo, George, Earl, McBob, Ed.  Beautiful day for a hike and a good group of people.  The hike was rated as moderate due to a section of the Boy Scout Trail.  Not much to say about the hike except that the pictures are overexposed due to an incorrect camera setting on my part.  The distance was about 5 miles.  For a couple of pictures please click on the Greenway farms tab above or HERE.

Greenway and Camp Jordan

9.27.12 Nance Jo, Earl  We decided to take a hike on the green-way toward Camp Jordan.  It was slightly overcast so we did not have to walk in the direct sun.  We parked off of East Brainerd Road and followed the Green-way trail toward Camp Jordan.  We took a slight wrong turn and ended up in the homeless camp.  A little bit scary!  We continued until the trail was completely blocked and then turned around.  We eventually fond the correct trail and arrived at Camp Jordan.  The walkway around CJ was precisely two miles.  Along the way we found ourselves in the middle of the national championship for frisbee dogs. What a treat! We watched them do their thing for a while and then continued on.  In all we covered 5.5 miles on this easy hike.  For a few pictures, click HERE or on the Camp Jordan tab above.
