Here is a field trip announcement as listed in the newsletter of the Knoxville Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society. The scheduled departure time is still 8:00. It would be nice to get onto the trail a bit earlier. Contact me and we'll discuss the possibility of earlier birding. Saturday, July 1, 8 a.m.(or earlier) Field trip/hike at Ace Gap Trail, Great Smoky Mountains National Park Leader: David Trently: dtrently@xxxxxxx Please contact trip leader at least two days in advance (by Thursday afternoon)as an earlier start is preferred. Meeting time will be adjusted if those attending are able to meet earlier. Meet at the Townsend Visitor Center on Route 321. Plan to leave there no later than 8:00 a.m. for the short drive up to the Ace Gap trailhead. This is a fairly easy walk, with little overall change in elevation, though there are some uphill and downhill sections. Bring lunch and a drink, which will need to be carried onto the trail.
