Itinerary:

Decatur and Oakhust are two great parts of Atlanta. This hike will start at Decatur's old courthouse and wind through a few adjacent Neighborhoods. Along the way, we'll see historic homes, cabins, temples, halls, battle grounds, churches, hospitals, depots, and cemetaries of historic note. The total distance is about 6 miles and will involve a lot of street crossings and pavement pounding. The pace will be moderate-fast and we should complete the loop in a bout 2 hours. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring water.

We'll meet on the steps of the old courthouse overlooking Ponce De Leon Ave. Parking in downtown Decatur can be a challenge if you don't want to feed the meters. Please arrive early and allow time if you plan to hunt for parking. See the following link for free parking after

Optional: After the hike, we'll stop for outdoor lunch at Decaturs watering holes.
