Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

It's Sunday - my FUNday - so come walk the relatively new and newly paved Proctor Creek GreenwayTrail with me and my dog FIA. The plan to to park/start at the NORTH end, walk to the SOUTH end of the trail, and then visit the Bellwood Quarry Reservoir overlook on the way back to our cars.

The PATH Foundation describes this trail as: Trail from the Bankhead MARTA station to Grove Park and West Highlands neighborhoods. This trail has a few hills but generally suitable for all riders and walkers. It meanders through the proposed Microsoft development and connects to Westside Park, Grove Park, and West Highlands.
