  • HMJENMSON HIKE SUPFRVISOR MAY 7 MAXEY BLUFFS, NEAR U. OF T. FARM The far-away hills seem greenest and we're knee deep in clover. All the wild and rugged country isn't fifty or a hundred miles away. Within sight from the limits of Knoxville, just south of the University farm there are hundreds of acres of wooded hills, cliffs and deep valleys. Let's make this trip an enjoyable outing with just enough walking to stimulate our appetites. We will find many wild flowers and birds. There is a possibility that several members of the Bird Club will join us on this trip, which will mean an even more enjoyable time. We will want an early start to enjoy to the full this early spring day and see the birds at their most active time. Lunch will probably be eaten on some high hill where we can see the big Tennessee River and a glimpse of Knoxville, far away enough so that its ugly spots don't show. Leave Dixie System at 7:30 a. m. and drive to the new bridge at U. T. Farm. Bring lunch and a canteen is important. Total hiking distance, two to six miles, as you wish. Leaders: MRS. LIDA M. ROSS (3-6894) L. C. STAIR (2-7171) Surely, one has not seen nature until he has tramped in rain and snow; until he has greeted her in her wildest moods,—and walked with the thunder upon the mountain tops." —Charles Coleman Stoddard 29
