Wed, Apr 28 2010 - Kennesaw Mountain Fitness Hike (View Original Event Details) Trip Leader(s): Alan Stephens, Danny Participants: Danny, Alan Stephens, Alan Seitman, Terri Westerman, Nikita, Paula Schubert, Ann, Ralph Howard, Greg Hunt

Everyone arrived ready to hit the mountain for a great hike. We departed the visitor center shortly after 6 pm. Most of the group kept a brisk pace going up and consequently were spread out. It was perfect for a hike. Temperature, humidity and pollen count were all lower than they have been for a couple of weeks. Even though the group was spread out on the way to the summit we were together from Big Kennesaw to Little Kennesaw. As we were heading down to Pigeon Hill I noticed there were fewer people than usual on the trail. Maybe the lower temperature and cloudy skies kept them away.

After a short break at Burnt Hickory Rd we headed back over. On the way back I had a close encounter with some deer on Little Kennesaw. They were feeding on some small plants and paid very little attention to me. I was able to get within about 5 feet for a photo. Even though we kept a moderate pace for most of the hike we made it back to the visitor center shortly after 8 pm.
 
Seemed like everyone had a good time
