Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Rock Creek 7.18.15

Today's hike was from the Retro Hughes Road Trailhead on the Cumberland Trail to the Rock Creek Overlook (where we lunched) and a return to the Trail head. The hike distance totaled 9.2 miles and is rated as strenuous.

The three hikers today were Joyce, Gary, and John.

The weather today was very hot and humid with absolutely no breeze. Drinking water was in great demand.

Roaring Creek 7.11.15

This hike was 9.2 miles at Roaring Creek (part of the Cumberland Trail). The hike is rated as strenuous.

There were three hikers today Gary, Boodiee, and John. We hiked to Gilbreath Creek, ate lunch, and returned to the trail head. The only wildlife we saw besides a few birds was a small box turtle.

The weather today was calm and muggy. Views from the overlooks were limited due to the hazy conditions.

Flipper Bend 7.4.15

It was a small group this time, but boy did they cover ground!  They did 9 miles in 4 hours.  The overlooks were fogged in so only a couple of pictures this time.  Also, they were moving so fast that there just wasn't enough time to take pictures.  At the end of the hike it started to rain getting everyone a little wet.  If you would like to see a couple pictures, click here or on the Flipper Bend tab above.

Signal Mtn.

It seems that I have more pictures than I do hikes.  If anyone finds or sees my error, please drop me a note with corrections.  This was a great hike but a little humid.  A good time was had by all.  If you would like to see pictures, click here or on the Signal Mtn. tab above.
