Write Up:It was a cold morning at the top of the Sandy Springs MARTA
station, we had 9 people with 3 no shows, we decided to car
pool in 2 cars, My car and Dons Car, we communicated to
each other via my radio... we took a short pit sop at exit
34 on I-185, we arrived at the park at 11:00am, 2 other AOC
member was waiting for us at the park, at the park it was
quite warm and sunny (60F-70F), we explored the bottom of
the canyon first, we explored all 9 area, the scenery was
quite surreal, it welt like I was in another world,
everyone looked like they were enjoying the scenery, I
often heard wow.. its so beautiful, after exploring the
bottom of the canyon, we hiked about 1/2 mile in the river
bed (it was only 1-2 inches deep), it was quite an awsome
experience hiking in shallow water... after the river bed,
we started hiking in the wilderness area, there were some
evidence of Armadillo, but we couldnt find one on the
trail, we took out snack break at the stop sign, beyond the
stop sign is the property of Georgia Hunting Club, we all
sat in between 2 canyons (about 15 feet of space), after
the snack break, we hiked down the canyon, we so a foot
print of a deer but the deer was actually using the same
trail as we did. we had a short log crossing, a brief
excitement on the trail, and we started hiking back up to
the top of the canyon, we often stopped for the breath
taking views of the canyon, we came across an abandoned
cars, were trees were growing through them... We were
tickled to get to do this hike on a such a beautiful warm
day. After the hike some of us went to Canton Cooks in
Sandy Springs, for a delicious chinese dinner. See you on
the next hike, Susumu
