On  Saturday, November 3, 2012, Five happy hikers from Nashville, Hendersonville, and Tullahoma hiked the Grundy Lakes Trail and Grundy Forest Day Loop, near Tracy City. Grundy Lakes is the site of the Lone Rock Coke Ovens where locally mined coal was converted to coke using convict labor until 1896. The coke ovens remain as a historic reminder of these times. The trail circled the largest of the four lakes and looped by remains of the Coke Ovens. The fall colors were still brilliant and the water was flowing.  After a fabulous lunch at the Dutch Maid Bakery and enjoying all the samples we traveled to the Grundy Forest Day Loop Trailhead. This 2 mile hike gave us an introduction to the Fiery Gizzard area, passing by small cascades, old CCC camp remains, and a couple of nice swimming holes. It met up with the more difficult and dramatic Fiery Gizzard Trail midway through the loop, which we happily passed by. It was a perfect autumn day and we returned home tired but happy
