Wed, Sep 23 2009 - Wednesday After Work Hike: Little Kennesaw Mountain Loop (View Original Event Details) Trip Leader(s): Danny Participants: Danny, Nikita, Barbara T, Andrew A., Jon Miner, Debbie Degner, Alison W., Matt B.

Write Up:
We got underway early this evening which was great!  Everyone was fast and very strong.  It only took us 35 minutes to get to the top of Little Kennesaw.  Because of this some suggested that we extend the trip to the Big Rock at the gap between Little Kennesaw and Pigeon Hill.  Two decided to head back from Little Kennesaw and not do the extension.  The rest carried on down Little Kennesaw, stopped at the Big Rock for about a minute, then headed back.  When we got ti the top of Little Kennesaw, we looped around by General French's rock.  It started getting dark when we reached the parking lot on Big Kennesaw.  Fifteen minutes or so later, we were back at the visitors center.

To learn more about General French's Rock from General French himself, just google ("General French" "Kennesaw Mountain"), then you should see a link entitled: "Battles and sketches of the Army of Tennessee - Google Books Result".  Click on that and it will show you pages in a book that were taken from General French's writings about the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain.  He mentions the rock.

Fun hike this evening!
