Itinerary:

This will be my last Moxie Burger hike…I head to Colorado on April 20 to start a new life adventure! So let's burn some calories on the beautiful trails at Vickery Creek. Then come celebrate with me at Moxie Burger for one last time before I go!

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.

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.  You should have previous D2 Fast hike or D3 Fast hike experience to do this hike. If I feel you don't have the requirements to do this hike, I may remove you from the roster for your own safety and in fairness to the rest of the group.

  NOTE: If you are new to the AOC, please include a message with your registration telling  me about your hiking experience/level of fitness. If I don't hear from you, I will move  you to the wait list until I hear from you.

Please understand all trip leaders are volunteers and most of us have full time jobs. We may not have time to call new members to discuss their fitness for a particular hike. It really helps us to run a successful hike if new members let us know what fitness activities they do so we can determine if the hike is a good fit for them.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO LOCK ALL VALUABLES IN YOUR TRUNK and OUT OF SIGHT!

See you on the trail!
