Tue, Jul 30 2013 - Columns aka Cochran Shoals to Sope Creek Hike - Starting at Columns Drive (View Original Event Details) Trip Leader(s): Libby G Participants: Libby G, Judy, Sharon Alaimo, Lemmy, Wolfgang, Carm H, Sunae, Patricia S, Eve, Vera, Nathaniel C

What a delightful group of hikers.  Welcome 2 new members (Nathaniel and Vera) who experienced their first AOC hike today.  Patricia was on her second AOC hike and Eve was on her third.  Then we had some experienced hikers...Sunae with 180 and Lemmy with the most at 201.  There was a nice German contention with Lemmy and Wolfgang.  Judy fit right in with everyone.  The group kept a good pace and we seemed to yell "biker" and "runner" moreso than normal...sharing the trail quite a bit today.  Afterwards was dinner with Sharon, Carmen, Sunae, and Libby.  Thanks for a fun time on the trails.
