Itinerary:

Come join us for a tour of the Kennesaw Mountain property!

We will start at the Burnt Hickory Parking Lot and head north up Pigeon Hill, take the Camp Brumby cut off to the base of the mountain heading for the visitor center.  Then take a bio break. Head up to big Kennesaw, little Kennesaw and Pigeon Hill. We will regroup at Burnt Hickory (with access to our cars). Then Take off to the Illinois monument. Water break and photos if you have not been there.  Cut over west to Kolb Farm and to Powder Springs road and have lunch at the Subway next to Kroger - don't forget to carry some cash so you can buy some goodies and maybe share them with your trip leaders - hint hint! After lunch continue clock wise north on Kolb Farm back to Burnt Hickory.
