Itinerary:

It's getting darker earlier, so we'll probably stick to doing these evening walks on safer, level grounds to avoid slips, trips, and falls. 

For this outing, we'll walk Decatur's beautiful boardwalk. For those that are new to Decatur, there's a path that winds thru the woods - mostly via a boardwalk that is elevated (up to 40-50 ft, or something like that). 

We'll meet at Medlock Park and make our way to Mason Mill Park, taking the path all the way to North Druid Hills, then turn around and make our way back the same way we came. That's it - just the boardwalk this time.

Arrive early so we can leave on time. Meet at the Medlock Park picnic pavillion by the playground.

There are restrooms here.
