October 8

I am writing this email from high in the hills of Gatlinburg.

Our college & young adult ministry has a camping trip scheduled for this weekend; however the feedback that I’ve gotten is that three days is too much time away from the studies and work. Therefore, we are planning a one day hiking trip not too far from Nashville.

The NEW plan is leaving TNU at 9am or the Church at 9:30am and heading to the John C. Clayborn Millennium Trail. Be warned: the Millennium is an eight mile hike and rated as “difficult”. Although it is only a one day hike, one attempting it should be ready for an arduous hike. That being said, for those who feel up to the challenge, the trip promises to be a memorable and worthwhile experience.

If you are planning on going:
1. Let me know: email / facebook, or talk to me in person on Sunday. I am currently in the mountains and cellphone reception is spotty.
2. Dress appropriately: comfortable shoes are a must. Light jacket if it looks like rain would be smart.
3. Pack a hearty lunch, several snacks (trail mix, granola bars, etc.) and plenty of water (at least a liter).
4. Money for a meal on the road.

Have a great day, hope to see you on Sunday!
