A Short and Sweet Writeup. Not my usual literary masterpieces. Whoa ever breathed a sigh of relief STAAAHHHPPP!

I am going to drop three in rapid succession.

So in my best Joe Friday Just the facts ma'am.

I am spending Thanksgiving with my youngest Daughter in Huntsville.

After we eat and visit I plan on driving up to Chattanooga for a long weekend. Still working on all my plans, but I have many.

It's Black Friday and the last place I want to be is shopping.

So why not a Black Friday Hike?

I am keeping it shorter and closer in. My Daughter wants to watch football.

So here it is

A Pretty easy hike. 4.5 miles, 705' elevation change, and only thirty minutes away. I am of course referring to Cloudland Canyon West Rim Loop. Pretty vistas and my cheery and charming company.

You are responsible to know your skills, abilities, what to wear, how to dress, snacks water, etc...

After a quick bite to eat at nearby Jeffersons in Tenton. Your basic, burgers, wings and sandwich place. Salads and wraps for the Veggie folks.

See nice an Short.

Then we ride back and watch football. If somebody wants to meet us after to watch the football game let me know where you want to watch in the comments. Preferably downtown since I live there.

Or you can come to my house if you bring beer, pizza and don't mind sitting on the floor and hearing my daughter yell at the TV. She gets what I will call animated over football. Oh and you will hear Go Dawgs! (spelled correctly) shouted by her too.
