On Saturday, April 26th, 14 hikers gathered at the main waterfall parking lot at Ferne Clyffe State park, just south of Goreville.  Cathy Jennings was our leader for this hike. We had 1 new hiker, the rest of the hikers had all been with us several times previous. We started out by “heading up and out on the Blackjack Oak Trail, then down to the lake and on the Ferne Clyffe lake trail, then the Round Bluff nature preserve trail. We paused & ate lunch at the picnic shelter, then back Up on the Blackjack Oak trail to the parking lot. Most then went up to the main waterfall on the Big Rocky Hollow trail. Once back to the main parking area again…some chose to do the Hawk’s Cave trail. One or 2 chose to “test themselves” on the Goreville Boy Scout Tral. Most everyone got in 4 miles, some got in 5 miles or more for the day.
