May the Fourth Hike Window Cliffs- and Cuatro De Mayo Mexican Dinner

Details

Note! This has come up recently. The trail rating for this is Moderate. This means an average hiker with LOTS of experience will find this Moderately difficult. Climbing over some stuff, elevation changes etc... Know your limits. a very occasional hiker will find it extremely difficult. Questions? ask me

Carpool from Wal-mart 501 Signal Mountain Road.

Okay I am a little pressed for time so I will briefish. You know I can't do just a few sentences.

The weekend of this Hike will be May the Fourth. Also know as Star Wars Day. In this day and time we have a day for everything. It has gotten ridiculous.

Like
Doggy Date Night-To be clear it's for dogs Feb. 3rd. What were you thinking?
National Tater Tot Day-It's overshadowed by Groundhog day on the same day. Feb. 2nd.-

There's way way more.

Even some obscure, but possibly really happy days like...
National x spouse day- This day is celebrated on April 14th. This holiday is to celebrate one’s former life partner or their absence. I know which for me.

So if I have to explain why May the Fourth you're clearly not a Star Wars fan, but on Star Wars day we can hike Window Cliffs. Even though National Window day is June 1st. It's true they even get a day.

So what is Window Cliffs? According to Wikipedia (Wikipedia Day is on or around January 15) it is this...

"The Window Cliffs State Natural Area covers 275 acres in Putnam County, Tennessee, near Cookeville. The Window Cliffs is the name of a prominent group of natural bridges in a narrow 200-foot-tall ridge in the neck of a meander of Cane Creek."

Google some pictures of it. It is really cool. (National Google day September 15th)

According to All Trails (They have no National day) It is this.
Window Cliffs Trail

5.3 miles. 662' elevation change. There are some creeks crossings bring some poles, a pair of dry shoes, and clean socks. Or dirty, but dry socks that are not stinky. Snacks, water, Sandra Bullock, and some Double Stuff Oreos. Read the trail reviews on All Trails for more.

So where am I going with all this date stuff? The next day is May fifth... Cinco De mayo.

Fun fact it is a U.S. Holiday. Cinco de Mayo is a celebration created by and for Latino communities in the United States.

So we have Mexican on the way home in honor of an American made Holiday and Irony (Irony sadly has no National day,) at El Meson San Pedro Mexican Restaurant in Sparta No Website.

May the Fourth be with you and may you Hike on the Fourth with us.
