Saturday, March 27 Four hikers did a twelve mile loop hike near Bryson City in the Smokies on the Thomas Divide, Indian Creek Motor and Deeplow Gap Trails.

Saturday, March 20 Six hikers hiked to Laurel Fork Falls near Hampton, Tennessee.

Sunday, March 14 Seven bikers rode about twelve miles along the French Broad River in the Del Rio Section of Cocke County.

Saturday, March 13. We finally got to do the "Search for Greene County's Highest Point" hike although the road to Camp Creek Bald was still very icy. Five club members took an altimeter reading beneath the tower above Jones Meadow, then hiked about six and a half miles north on the Appalachian Trail. The group made a short, off-trail climb to the summit of Gravel Knob and took another reading there. Then they hiked back to the tower for a final check of the instrument. From these readings, we determined that the highest point in the county is Camp Creek Bald and not Gravel Knob.

Sunday, March 7 We had twelve persons for the hike on the Big Creek Trail to Walnut Bottoms and back.

Saturday, March 6 The bike ride was cancelled because of the downpour, but, after a clearing in the afternoon, five persons drove to Camp Creek Bald for a work trip on our section of the AT.

Sunday, February 29 Icy road conditions kept us from going up to Camp Creek Bald, but twelve workers did maintenance on the Little Paint Creek Trail.

Sunday, February 22 Five bikers rode a loop from Doak School to River Plantation consisting of about 15 miles.

Saturday, February 21. Nine members of the Greeneville Hiking drove to Round Knob and hiked the Jennings Creek Loop consisting of Little Jennings Creek, Big Jennings Creek and Cowbell Hollow.

Saturday, February 14. We had nine hikers on the Valentine's Day hike to Lover's Leap, overlooking the French Broad River at Hot Springs, N.C. The group hiked up the Silvermine Trail, then took the AT to the interseection with the Pump Gap Loop.

Sunday, February 8 Seven hikers did a five mile loop in the Smokies on the Old Sugarlands and Two Mile Lead Trails. These trails make for a good, low altitude, winter outing.

Saturday, February 7 The hike to Rock Creek Falls was postponed because of high water, but three hikers checked out the construction at Paint Creek and hiked on the Little Paint Trail.

Sunday, February 1 There was an almost record turnout of 23 for the four mile shuttle hike on the horse trail in Houston Valley. This is a good hike although steep and muddy in places.

Saturday, January 31 The temperature was 12 degrees when we met, but five club members showed up anyway. The group drove to Elkmont and hiked 12.5 miles on the Little River Trail in the Smokies. If anyone is looking for an easy, almost flat trail with good footing this is it. The only problems encountered were a couple of difficult creek crossings at the end of the trail.

Saturday, January 24 We had a great, mystery hike to Sill Branch Falls off the Erwin Highway on the Clarks Creek Road. We had seven participants for this easy, five mile hike.

Friday, January 23 Seven snowbirds drove to Sugar Mountain for the annual snowtubing trip. Unfortunately, a huge busload of people beat us there and the run was sold out. After a failed attempt to tube at Hawk's Nest, which was closed, we returned to Greeneville, sadder but warmer and drier.

Sunday, January 18 Three intrepid hikers braved the elements, and hiked the Laurel River Trail to the railroad tracks and back.

Saturday, January 3 Nine hikers drove to the Cataloochee Valley on the North Carolina side of the Smokies and hiked about six miles on the Little Cataloochee Trail. This trail has a lot of historical artifacts and restored buildings making for a great hike for history buffs. After the hike, a herd of around twenty five elk were observed grazing in a big open field.

Thursday, January 1 We had warm weather and a great turnout of twenty-five hike for the Annual New Year's Resolution hike to Margarette Falls. The trailhead parking lot and trail itself is still suffering the results of the floods from a couple of years ago, but we remain hopeful that progress will be made in 2004.
