Soddy Daisy TTA chapter hike for this beautiful chilly Saturday was at Flipper Bend, high above the North Chickamauga Creek. 8 miles of trail with white blazes on the trees with trails and roads going in all directions, and no signs. John did a great job leading, but we still had to backtrack a couple of times after not seeing a double blaze for a turn. We had a creek crossing early in the hike should have been a rock hop. A couple of hikers got wet feet so Louise found a better place to cross so another lady and I followed her with just a little balancing act on a log. But no wet feet. It was plenty muddy on the road beds with water running down them. Everyone liked the view from the bluff by the power lines, we could hear the waterfall but couldn't see it. We could see pretty far today, the air was crisp so the mountains in the distance were visible.
Met some nice people today, and it was great to hike with Louise again.
