Hike initiated: 0730, 12 July 2009
Hike Concluded:
1135, 12 July 2009

Weather: Clear skies and cool temperatures with a slight breeze. Morning temperature of 75 degF progressing to the mid 80s degF by hikes end.

The group gathered at the base of Kennesaw Mountain at the visitor center for waiver signing and an event briefing by the trip leaders. The main trail head was engaged at 0740 and the group began spreading out nominally on the 2.5 mile hike to the Burnt Hickory Road break area. At the break area a group decision was made to continue down to Noses Creek for some additional exercise. For the northward return hike a side trail was used to bypass Pegion Hill and re-enter the trail on Kennesaw proper.  The detour added an estimated 3 miles to the hike (8 miles approx total). The group regathered and disbanded at 1135.
