Itinerary:

The new 2013 AOC Officers and Member Ambassadors would like to invite our newer members to enjoy a short hike at Vickery Creek in Roswell.  We will hike about 4 miles at a leisurely pace.  This is a great chance for newer members to learn about the AOC and for officers to meet our newest members. 

While we certainly love spending time with our experienced hikers, we will use the following method to assist our newer members in reserving a spot on this newcomer hike:  We will open registration on December 5 and close it on December 29. All registrants will automatically be placed on the waiting list (this is on purpose). On December 29, the top 18 people with very few events will be moved to the confirmed list. We will send a confirmation email to notify those who make the list.  Of course, if new members do not fill up the slots, we will welcome our established members!

We are meeting at the Roswell Mill entrance to the Vickery Creek trailhead and parking is free. Detailed directions are below.


Required Items to Bring:

water, gatorade or whatever you like to keep hydrated (important)
No flip flops or shoes without a backstrap please

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

snacks to fuel yourself
hiking poles if you dig 'em
sunscreen/bug spray according to the season and weather
appropriate clothing


How to Get There:
Event Directions:

 

There are a lot of ways to get to the Roswell Mill. It's at 120 and S. Atlanta Road in Roswell. Use either the physical address below or the lat/lon coordinates to get your own directions. We are meeting behind all of the shops at the Mill. Just keep going towards the water.

We are meeting at the trailhead behind the shops of Roswell Mill. It is where Hwy 9 (S. Atlanta St) and Hwy 120 (Marietta Hwy) intersect. There's a popular restaurant called Chaplin's in that shopping center. When you turn in to the shopping center (from either direction) you will be on Mill St. - Mill St dead ends in to Mill St. (thank you Roswell) and you take a right on to Mill St which will dead end in to the parking lot.
