  • north, Lake Santeetlah westward and Cheoah Bald in the southeast. Leave Dixie System—Saturday 1:00 p. m. Bring food for three meals, your canteen, and be prepared to camp out Saturday night. Driving distance 75 miles one way. Total hikint! distance six miles. Leaders: LUCIEN GREENE (3-8811) PARKE L. BROWN (3-5324) APRIL 30 SAVAGE GARDENS SPRING FROLIC Great columns of stone looking like ruined castles; at their feet, dwarfed by their size, myriads of flowers—wild and some tame—gnomes peering out from behind giant toadstools (some of them human—the gnomes, not the toadstools) and purling through the nearby valley, like the moats of the days gone by, a crystal clear river. (Provided it doesn't rain that week—then it will be a beautiful "golden brown"). In this setting, out of a German fairy tale, Gnome One—T. S. McKinney and Gnomess Two —Little Haasis, will conduct the Hiking Club Spring Frolic. Study of the flora and fauna and the interesting rock formation, games and a weiner and marshmallow roast should keep the Hikers out of mischief, so that they will not feed or annoy the wild flowers. Mr. Savage will be our host and guest and will identify wild flowers and we hope will, as graciously as he did last year, share with us his plans and dreams for the future of his garden of rugged loveliness. Leave Dixie System at 2:00 p. m. Drive to Coal Creek, turn right and follow narrow gravel road to the Gardens. Bring food for one meal and canteen. The management will provide the weiners and marshmallows. Leaders: "LITTLE HAASIS" (3-3227) T. S. McKINNEY (6-1462) 28
