Itinerary:

Hello. It's been rainy in Decatur for the last couple of days, but no excuses today (speaking for myself). Join me this afternoon for a mud-free walk on the beautiful boardwalk. For those that are new to Decatur, there's a beautiful path that winds thru the woods - mostly via a boardwalk path that is elevated (up to 40-50 ft, or something like that). 

We'll meet at Medlock Park and make our way to Mason Mill park, taking the path all the way to Druid Hills. On the route back, we will also make our way to Emory and do a loop around the lake, and then make our way back to Mason Mill and Medlock park. Easy, peasy, mud-less feetsy.

Though my routine here has changed for the day, the meeting spot is still the same...

Please note that we will be meeting at Medlock Park, and not Mason Mill. Use the address provided. We'll meet at the picnic tables by the playground.

There are 2 parking lots for Medlock Park that you can use... The 2nd (larger lot) can be GPS'ed to using 898 Scott Cir. The picnic pavillion (our meeting spot) is visible from either parking lots.
