Tom Vickstrom led a TTA group of nine people on an 8 mile hike from Centennial Park in Nashville to the downtown area and back. There were some interesting sights and stops along the way.  The route included the Vanderbilt University Campus, Music Row, the Gulch, the State Capitol, the military branch of the Tennessee State Museum, Legislative Plaza, Public Square, and the Goo Goo store.

Hikers Nancy Juodenas, Alice Cannon, Monica Hopkins, Jim Lesch, Betty Magee and Chris Magee enjoyed hiking on the Wall Trail, Forks of the River Trail, Little Duck River Trail, and Moat Trail at Old Stone Fort Archaeological Park, Manchester, TN back on July 18, 2015. Waterfalls included Step Falls, Big Falls (shown in the photo) and Blue Hole Falls.

Saturday, August 1, 2015: On a relatively cool morning in August, six hikers gathered at Beaman Park Nature Center for a short 3.5 mile walk on the Sedge Trail and Henry Hollow Loop Trail.. It was an easy, pleasant hike with good company. 

The hike ended with a walk in the creek, which cooled us off and slowed us down enough to be able to see crawdads, minnows of all sizes, and little snails cleaning up the rocks.  We even saw a baby snake wriggling quickly away into the brush back on the Sedge Trail.
