Itinerary:

We'll meet at the 10th Street and Charles Allen Dr NE entrance of Piedmont Park. Our route will take us along the south side of Piedmont Park and we will link up with the Atlanta Beltline.

We will be divided into groups and given a list of clues to find.  ALL ANSWERS MUST BE IN PICTURE FORM WITH AT LEAST ONE GROUP MEMBER IN THE PICTURE FROM THE DAY OF THE EVENT!!!

The clues will take each group up and down as far north as Smith's Old Bar to as far south as Edgewood.  I plan on being cluemaster and will be up and down the route on bike (weather permitting) to check things out and take pictures of the shenanigans!!

The total distance will be about 6 miles. 

We will end after two hours at Ponce City Market with bonus points going to any group who finds all the clues and maximizes the amount of points they can receive.  

I invite you all to join for dinner after at Ponce City Market.

Total hiking/walking distance is going to be about 6 miles but the terrain is basically flat. This is not a beginner's event. Please make sure you are able to keep a steady pace with us for 6+ miles.
