Gary Keckley asked me to pass this information about the annual backpack he is leading. March 23-25 (Fri-Sun) FIFTH Annual Leprechaun Leap Backpack. This will be a 3 day trek on the Tennessee River Gorge segment of the Cumberland Trail near Chattanooga. The trail has several spectacular overlooks into the "Grand Canyon of the Tennessee" plus we will see several natural rock formations that compete with Rock City. The trail is reasonably level and the distances are moderate. On Saturday night, we will have the First "Lep Leap Culinary Cookoff" to establish the World's Best Backcountry Chef. We will camp both nights at the Poplar Spring Campsite and day hike to Snoopers Rock on Saturday. The Lep Leap aims to serve, so there are several options- Option A: Herb Kneeland Special- all three days, 10 miles on Friday, 12 slackpacking miles on Saturday and 10 on Sunday. Option B: Herb Kneeland Wanna B Special- come whenever and hike 3.3 miles to the campsite for either night or day hike 6 miles on Saturday. The group size is limited, so you must pre-register. For information, call Gary Keckley at 615-790-7041 office, 615-794-6811 home or email at gkeckley at yahoo.com .
