Saturday, July 12th, 2014. Three hikers from the Nashville chapter met four hikers from East TN chapter to walk at Laurel-Snow Pocket Wilderness.  The hike was a joint venture with Carolyn Reeves from East TN and Nancy Juodenas from Nashville leading.  It was a hot July day, but the shady forest and the cool air from the waterfalls and the rock shelters, made it pleasant.  Along the way to Snow Falls we encountered some obstacles, one of which was a tree across the first bridge (50 ft,) and a wasp nest on the second bridge (150 ft.).  We managed to rock hop, and/or wade across the first creek, and run really fast across the 2nd bridge.  Even with the 150 ft dash some of us got stung multiple times.  There were beautiful viewpoints and ripe blackberries about half way to the falls, and two snakes in the trail one of which looked like a copperhead.  Arriving at Snow Falls which was flowing fast and full, we ate our lunch, enjoying the rest and the view of the falls. One person even took a refreshing dip!
