History Hike w Missy fri fit club

Our Roane and Anderson county friday fit club warmed up for a brisk 30 degree, 4 mile walk by spending time inside Fort South West visitor center. This historic site in Kingston tn shows you how life was here in the late 1700s. Dan a historian and museum director Rick Ross told us about how this Fort had that hoped to maintain peace between the  Cherokee and settlers. But later how it ended with the native Americans being pushed out of east tn. on trail of tears toOklahoma.    Four soldiers from this fort joined Lewis Clark expedition and for one day Kingston was named capital of Tn. The
Betty brown trail goes down to a nice 4oo meter Track and sport fields then the greenway  continues close to the water front  towards the high school and back. After we toured the buildings at the Fort some headed to Red Door restaurant by the water for lunch.  This club is an outreach of Methodist Medical Center and Roane Medical Center.   Missy is hoping to inspire others to hit the trails in their community to help fight Obestity, Diabetes, heart illness as well as improving your over all mental health. Often there are links to trails outside Knoxville area on www.outdoorknoxville.com   and Missy can be seen on Mornings with Fox 43 every tuesday at 8:45 to showcase other Fit and Fun destinations around East Tenn.
