Write Up:Wonderful day! Wonderful group! Wonderful hike! What started out from Unicoi with rain
and threatening storms turned out to be a perfect day for hiking. Make no mistake, this
was a tough D5 hike, but a strong group was able to tackle three hard mountains, Brier
Creek Bald, Rocky and Tray. Rocky Mountain twice! Brier Creek Bald was a short side
trip from Tray Gap down a closed forest service road, then up an old logging road and
finally through the briars and blow downs to reach the summit. The views were a bit
muted due to the trees, but thanks to winter conditions, there were no leaves to obstruct
seeing nearby Tray and even Brasstown Bald was viewable. Many thanks to all who
attended, Aaron, Ann, Ralph, Uma, Mark K, Paresh, Fay and Nahid. Looking forward
to seeing you all on the next adventure!
