Itinerary:

Please join us for a hike and optional triva event at East Palisades (Whitewater Creek entrance) and Mellow Mushroom.  We will start the hike at 5:30 pm with a warm up walk along the river then head inland and hike some of the different loops in the park.  We will stop briefly at the main overlook and continue past the bamboo forest to the secondary overlook then return to our cars via the the Indian Trails parking lot.

Afterward, please consider joining us for the optional trivia portion of the event at Mellow Mushroom - Marietta (770-933-8584) at 8:00 PM.  It is a few miles away at the corner on Powers Ferry Road and Windy Hill Road.

Don't worry if you are not "good" at trivia.  It is just an excuse to socialize after a hike!  :)

When you sign up, please write in the note section whether you plan to attend the optional trivia portion or not so we know whether we need to reserve a large table for us. Thank you. :)
