New Year’s Day Hike – Long Hunter State Park

By

January 1 @ 9:30 am

Monday, January 1 – New Year’s Day Hike – Long Hunter State Park. Bryant Grove Trail. 8.0 miles rated moderate. Joint event with the Highland Rim and Nashville chapters. The adage is what you do on the first day of the year, you will continue to do all year long. The Bryant Grove Trail is an “out and back” flat, winding trail connecting the Couchville Lake area to the Bryant Grove Recreation Area and follows the shoreline of Percy Priest Lake. The trail crosses a wooden bridge above Bryant Grove Creek, where heron might be seen wading and feeding. If you don’t want to hike the entire 8 miles, there is a turn-around point halfway or a car shuttle can be set up to hike 4.0 miles. All chapters are invited to attend. We will meet at 9:30 A.M. CT at the kiosk near the playground in the Couchville Lake area. We will enjoy lunch in the Bryant Grove Recreation Area. Bring lunch, water, and snacks. Pets are not permitted on the Bryant Grove Trail. For more information or to sign up, contact Sara Pollard at 615-714-3610 or sarabpollard@gmail.com.

Poteet’s Annual Chilly Chili Hike – Sewanee

By

January 27 @ 10:00 am

Saturday, January 27 – Chilly Chili Hike – Jim and Marietta Poteet will host their 22nd annual Chilly Chili hike. We will meet at the trailhead of Shakerag Hollow in Sewanee at 10:00 A.M. CT. We will hike Shakerag Hollow and Beckwith’s Point for a total of about 3.5 miles rated moderate. There is a steep rocky downhill on Shakerag and a rocky uphill at Greens View on the trip, but generally a very pleasant hike down into the hollow and along the golf course with several very nice views. Afterwards we will adjourn to the Poteet’s house for chili, brownies, cornbread, and fixings. Feel free to add a side if you wish. The Poteets will provide some soft drinks, beer and wine. If you do not want to hike, please meet at the house at noon. RSVP to Marietta at nannietta@benlomand.net if you will be able to make it. The Poteet’s home is in a gated community, and Marietta will have a gate code and directions for you. It’s fun and very sociable.
