rainy day hikers




"Rain, rain, go away, Thursday Hiker’s need to play. No matter, despite the drizzly weather, we played on. I’m sure we all watched the weather forecast before leaving home, and it didn’t look too promising. Just as we arrived in the Ijams parking lot the rain started, then the skies darkened, then it lightened, then we scampered to the shelter of the visitor center porch to wait it out," emailed group member Bill Little.

Despite the heavy, heavy rains last Thursday the group had a good, albeit soggy hike around the trails at the nature center. The Thursday Hikers are from all over: Kingston, Morristown, Gatlinburg, Maryville, Knoxville. Bill says that on average 35 hikers take part in the Thursday outings.

Come back again. Ijams is even prettier when the sun is shining.
