Wed, Feb 20 2013 - Vickery Creek Hike (View Original Event Details) Trip Leader(s): Lauren, Joyce T. Participants: Lauren, Carolyn Naser, Michelle, Nereida, Alison Rhodes, Marion, Stan, Jackie Ernst, Pepsi L, Joyce T., Merrilee H, Sunae

What a night for a hike!

Though there was a possible threat of rain, but we took a chance and ventured forth. 

We had some last minute additions to the roster due to another nearby hike being cancelled.  Lauren invited Merrilee and Sunae to join the Vickery group, and Joyce was promoted to co-lead with Lauren so as to better supervise the larger group (better to have a sweep on a dark night hike).  

The bad weather, you ask?  Nary a drop of rain fell for the entire hike!  It was a beautiful night, especially in the glow of the flashlights and head lamps.

Poor Sunae fell, hurting her back and spraining her ankle.  Members of the group supported her as she hobbled over the final mile of the trail.  She was in obvious pain, but she bore it like a trooper.  Fortunately, she was able to drive home to Decatur and arrived there safely.  Heal quickly, Sunae!
