Bridal Veil Falls Hike
We had 6 hikers to hike the Sewanee Perimeter Trail starting from the Memorial Cross. We didn't hike down to Bridal Veil Falls because it hasn't rained in over a week and we knew there would be no water. Instead, we continued on the Perimeter Trail and took the Parallel Trail to make a loop back to the Memorial Cross. We hiked past Otey View and Clara's Point. Because of a communication error J.C. Joined us on the last part of the hike. Hikers were Peggy Harris, Judy Pannick, Sara Pollard, Marietta Poteet, J.C. Saunders and Vicki Wendt.

Buggytop -Sara
We had 11 hikers to hike the Buggytop trail off of Highway 56 in Sewanee. There's new signage at the trailhead so no one missed the parking lot this time. It was a cool morning to start the hike first to the large cave opening and then we stopped off at Peter's Cave on our way out. Some of us stopped by the Natural Bridge arch on our way to enjoy lunch at Shenanigan's Restaurant. Hikers were Jim Barritt, Jay Brain, Joe Campbell, Patty Deen, Wayne Drown, Peggy Harris, Robin King, Sara Pollard, Zoe Ramsay, Carl Westman, and Wayne Yancey.
