This hike was "rain or shine" because of the unpredictable weather lately and I'm glad I didn't cancel it. It rained on the way to the trailhead, but once we got to Sewanee the rain had stopped. The rocks and roots were slippery on the trail so we had to be extra careful. From Murfreesboro, hikers were Jill Cutler, Sara Pollard, Amy Sutton (Nashville chapter), and Wayne Yancey. Jane Ellett (Soddy Daisy), Debbie Wilder and Pete Broehl (Upper Cumberland) met us at the trailhead. We hiked first to Peter Cave and had a break while Amy, Jane and Pete explored the cave. Then we headed to Buggytop Cave and had a challenging descent to the cave entrance. It was especially slippery because there was so much mud on our boots. We didn't get off the trail until around 1:30 pm and since we were hungry it was decided to head over to Shenanigans for lunch and visit the Natural Bridge another time. It was a great hike and saw lots of pretty wildflowers.
