We had 12 hikers on the Bearwaller Gap hike near Carthage. Sara Pollard led the hike that started at the Defeated Creek campground area and we hiked 6 miles to the Tater Knob Overlook. It was cloudy all day but we still had beautiful views of Cordell Hull Lake and Dam all along the way. We stopped for lunch at the Two Prong backcountry campsite which has a picnic table, fire pit, shelter and outhouse. The trail was muddy and slippery in some spots and everyone managed the shallow creek crossings. We had hikers from our chapter as well as Highland Rim and Sumner. Hikers were Jay Brain, Jeanne Conaster, Eleanor Gilchrist, Marie Gleeson, Jon Palmer, Joni Perrine, Sara Pollard, Georgeanne Ross, Jan Safavi, Sigren Watson, Ruth Wells and Wayne Yancey.

Some folks asked who Cordell Hull was-you can Google it, but Secretary of State for 11 years I think. He was responsible for establishing the UN. I know there is an old historic home in Carthage named after the Hull family. Turns out his father bought that house-William Hull. I'd love to see inside it. Lots of historic places in Smith county and fun to explore.
