Mom invited Claudia and me to join her on a hike the day after Thanksgiving. It was organized by her local chapter of the Tennessee Trails Association. It was a trail at Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park near Manchester, TN. See http://www.tennessee.gov/environment/parks/OldStoneFort/ for more information. It was pretty chilly out that morning -- 39F/3C. We had rain the day before Thanksgiving, so a lot of the pretty leaves had been knocked down by the rain.
