Itinerary:
Please join me for the second HOTT! event (except this time it is on a Tuesday) to the Cochran Shoals (Interstate North Parkway) unit of the CNRA.  We will hike along the river for awhile and then turn left and hike inland at the "Wildlife Viewing Area" sign and do some of the trail loops in the park with a few minor climbs.  We will hike just under 5 miles at a moderate pace.  We should finish the hike portion around 7:30 PM.

Afterward, please consider joining me for the optional trivia portion of the event at Mellow Mushroom - Marietta (770-933-8584) at 8:00 PM.  It is just around the corner on Powers Ferry Road.  Don't worry if you are not "good" at trivia.  It is just an excuse to socialize after a hike!  :)

Required Items to Bring:
Hiking boots or shoes with good traction
Water
Appropriate clothing for the weather
Emergency rain gear (20% chance of precip. currently)
A good attitude! :)
Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

Camera

How to Get There:
Event Directions:Take I-285 west and get off on exit 22.
Take the first right when you exit onto Interstate North Parkway.
Continue straight ahead thru the traffic light and Northside Drive.
Drive along the access road until you cross over the river and make a right into the unit's parking lot.

Notes:
The current forecast for Tuesday is partly cloudy with high 61F, low 55F, 20% chance of precipitation, and sunset at 7:56 PM ET.

A maximum of 3 friendly dogs are permitted on this hike.  They must be on a leash at all times and you must pick up after your pets per park rules.  Please keep in mind if you do bring pets, you may have issues attending the optional trivia portion of the event.
