Itinerary:

Hope you’ll join Nancy and I as we trek the wonderful Chinnabee Silent Trail located in the beautiful Talladega National Forest. We’ll enjoy Cheaha Waterfall and the larger waterfall at Devil's Den. The trail is named for Creek Indian Chief Chinnabee, an ally of Andrew Jackson during the Creek War. The designation of “Silent Trail” comes from the trail’s builders. Between 1973 and 1976, Boy Scout Troop 29 from the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind created the trail with the help of the USDA Forest Service. The hike is considered by many to be one of the most enjoyable in the state. This will be an "in and out" hike of around 7 miles total distance. A maximum of three dogs will be allowed on this hike.

* If you are meeting us at the event, we'll see you at 8:30 Central time at the Cheaha State Park Headquarters.

** After the hike we may decide to stop at Johnny's New York Style Pizza for a tasty, well-earned late lunch. Johnny's is conveniently located at our carpool location.
