Thanks for the pics! Oh man, I miss the CT and hills of the Plateau. Was this from Tennessee? I did a lot of hiking and camping in the Big Bend area back in the day.

Yup, this starts on Hwy 27 where it goes over Suck Creek Mtn. About 1/2 way the CT crosses the highway. We crossed over S Suck Creek, hiked up and over a ridge to N Suck Creek then up Signal Mtn to Mushroom Rock and back. Really scenic and only 15 minutes from Downtown. Once you clear that 1st ridge you can't here any evidence of a city though.
