Itinerary:

Let's burn some calories at Vickery Creek, and then get a burger & fries (or a salad) at Moxie Burger! Beautiful trails, but the poison ivy is out, so wear long pants or high socks if you are extremely allergic to it.    

We'll warm up for the first half mile and then keep a fast pace stopping only occasionally. MANDATORY: Please bring plenty of water! I recommend using a camelback type water bladder if you have one so you have constant access to your water. No water, no hike. Just sayin.

There are restrooms at this location and parking is FREE! Unless you park in a no parking zone, then it's like $50. Trust me on this.

Please arrive a few minutes early to check in and use the bathroom if needed. If you're running late or can't make it at the last minute, please call or text me at 770-695-3969.

This is not a beginner hike, it is a fitness hike. We hike at a fast pace with only a few short breaks for water.  If you haven't done any D3 fitness hikes yet, you should consider doing a few fast paced D2s and some other D3s before tackling this hike.

NOTE: If you are new to the AOC, please include a short message with your registration telling me about your hiking experience/level of fitness. I need to make sure everyone on the hike is capable of keeping up with the group. If I feel you may not be able to keep up, I may remove you and request you join us when you have more hiking experience. This is in fairness to everyone in the group and for your own safety. 

PLEASE REMEMBER TO LOCK ALL VALUABLES IN YOUR TRUNK!

See you on the trail!
