Sheila Miller of the Plateau chapter led an out and back to Virgin Falls. We had 15 hikers on this joint hike with the Murfreesboro and Plateau chapters. We started our hike in the Lost Creek State Natural Area near Sparta. We passed Rylander Falls and hiked to the "backside" of Virgin Falls. It was several up hills and downhills along the way, and it got pretty warm by the early afternoon. We enjoyed lunch at Virgin Falls, and several took the spur trail to the top of the falls.
This was an out and back hike for a total of about 8 miles. Too early for spring flowers but we saw some interesting tree fungi along the way. Hikers from Murfreesboro were Jay Brain, Joe Campbell, Tony Jones, Craig McBride, Lora McBride, and Sara Pollard. Plateau hikers were Kristi DuBois, Misty Fell, Edna Horony, Jeanine Jablonski, Wayne Lokey, Sheila Miller, Jerome Phifer, Cindy Strang and Curt Thomas.
