Recent Hike and Event Reports May 5, 2018 Saturday Hike and Backpacking trip to Bob Bald There were 8 of us that set out from Beech Gap that morning but only 4 made it home that night!!! So now that I have your attention it was actually by design. Four were the day hikers and the other four were going to spend the night on Bob's Bald. The four day hikers were Sue Robinson, Sandra Fenton, Michael Friedman, and Al Johnson. The
2 four backpackers were Megan Callahan, Jack Callahan, Becky Buchberger, and James Anderson the hike leader. Temps were in the high 60s when we left Beech Gap to hike the miles to the top of the bald. The hike up went without a hitch. We ate lunch together on the bald and enjoyed the views although it was fairly overcast and a breeze was blowing. After enjoying a leisurely lunch the four day hikers headed back down and the four backpackers found a spot to set up camp. The bald had recently been bush hogged so it was pretty easy to get around. We set up camp in the edge of the woods. Jack and Megan setup their hammocks while Becky and I set up our tents. Around 5 or so we decided it was time for dinner. We all had dinner and enjoyed sitting around talking for awhile. Despite some brief episodes of sunshine late in the day the rain started around 8pm. It rained off and on the entire night. It was still sprinkling a bit when we broke camp that morning and hiked out. We did have a decent water supply from the spring nearby so that was a big plus. We also were awakened during the night by what Jack said was the mating calls of the barred owl. After some back and forth on the calls, they all decided to fly the coup and head down the mountain. That morning as we were hiking out the temps were in the low 40s and there was a stiff breeze. According to Jack's portable weather station the wind chill was in the 30s so it was kind of cool on the old fingers for awhile. We all made it out fine though. By the time we got to Tellico Plains it was sunny and much warmer. We are assuming the other four made it out ok as well since we did not hear of any lost hikers on the news and their cars were gone when we got back to the trailhead May 8-12 wilderness Wildlife Week In Pigeon Forge Leon Bates will give us an oral update on the events of this week at our June club meeting. May 10, 2018 Thursday Club Meeting Pot luck at Charleston Park pavilion Jennifer Schroll gave a great presentation on rock and mineral identification and shared her quite extensive collection...and she left with her gold samples intact.
3 MAY 12, 2018 SATURDAY - BEECH GAP TO WARDEN FIELDS Three hikers (Rick & Brenda Harris, Sue Robinson) made this beautiful hike of 11 miles from Beech Gap at the State Line on the Cherohala Skyway on the BMT to Cold Springs Gap, then down the South Fork Citico Creek Trail to its junction with the North Fork at Warden Fields. The trail was in surprisingly good condition, thanks to the SAWS crews last summer. There were only a handful of downed trees, none hard to get around. The start of the hike was along the state line crest of the mountains for two miles on the BMT with great views into the surrounding mountains. The hike then took us very steeply down the South Fork Trail for the first mile or so, till we reached a logging rail line trail which was much more gentle. We followed this for several miles along the upper stretches of the South Fork. The trail then trended higher and higher above the creek along the old rail line course. Then again the trail went steeply downhill to the creek level. When we reached the creek, we ate lunch in a beautiful campsite. We then hiked out along the edge of the creek with several waterfalls and with a couple of creek crossings which were not very deep due to the low water levels. We were able to bypass two other creek crossings on a bypass trail with several blow downs. We finally reached Warden Fields and the trail terminus. Warden Fields was the location of a logging camp town known as Jeffrey. The area then became the site of a forest warden station (hence its name), and is now a large camping area and the junction for several great hiking trails into the Citico Wilderness. The campground is right on the edge of Citico Creek complete with rope swings. The general feeling is that the hike was much easier than expected and very scenic. We wish more had come on the hike. Sorry we labeled the hike as such a difficult hike.
4 MAY 19, 2018 SATURDAY - BIG FROG LOOP This hike was cancelled due to inclement weather...it will be rescheduled in the fall to take advantage of fall color and cooler weather. MAY 21-25, 2018 ROAN MOUNTAIN STATE PARK CAMPOUT MONDAY through FRIDAY Monday was an assembly day and we had meals in one of the park shelters and discussed the proposed events for the rest of the week. Tuesday we headed up to the Gardens, and found out they did not open the gates till the upcoming weekend...that eliminated the proposed hike to the Roan Mountain shelter. Plan B we took off to enjoy the Elk river falls, and it was closed due to a drowning and recovery in progress. Plan C several of us headed to Banner Elk and had a great lunch then went to the original Mast General Store which is a trip worth doing. Wednesday the majority of the group went to Carvers Gap and hiked to Round and Jane Bald, where a couple of hikers chose to stop, and the rest went on to Grassy Ridge and had lunch and lounged in the sun for about an hour. Following the hike, several of us enjoyed a great pizza place in Roan Mountain, and a great campfire with wood supplied by Boyd. Thursday nine of us took off for Damascus, VA to meet our scheduled shuttle and bike rental for our ride on the Virginia Creeper trail. A flat tire caused us to reschedule our departure to 1 pm, and up the mountain we went to Whitetop to start our descent. Along the trail there were several accidents with the most consequential being one rider cracking three ribs. Ratings afterwards ranged from fantastic to never again! For the late arrivers back in camp, the group had prepared a wonderful spread of food, and had a great fire underway. Jack much appreciated the donations to cover the shelter cost.
5 Campers included Boyd and Martha Firestone, Clayton and Ruth Pannell, Sue and John Robinson, Carol and Carroll Guhne, Margaret and Jack Callahan, Larry Van Dyke, Joanne Jackson, and Margaret Garland. Not everyone would agree with this...but the raccoons had a great time after dark...you had to have been there... Cherokee Hiking Club
