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:

TBD

DISCLAIMER: This is a moderately fast-paced hike (2.7 to 3 mph = 20 to 22 minute/mile) with 500+ foot elevation gain. So, if you have mobility issues, are recovering from injury, or prefer a slow pace, please sit this one out!

I have been meaning to explore this trail for a while now and this is the day to explore it! So, the plan is to park at the free parking lot near the mill, walk the outer loop of the Vickery Creek Trail at a brisk pace, followed by the inner loop also at a brisk pace, take one short break somewhere in between - ideally at one scenic location - before returning to our cars! Come with?

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

On the day before the event, I will email participants the exact meeting location and detailed directions.

Notes:

Please, no unregistered guests or +Ones!

Late cancellations, particularly within 36 hours of the event, make it difficult for those on the waitlist to attend. Please be courteous to your fellow AOC members and cancel with as much notice as possible.

Please note: Members who sign up and fail to attend an event with an active waitlist, will automatically earn a “no show.”

If you need to get in touch with me, the best way is to TEXT me with your NAME at 4O4 7-Five-4 5OO5.

I usually hike RAIN-or-SHINE! However, in case of severe weather or other unforeseen emergencies that warrant a cancellation, I will text/email you at least TWO HOURS before the start of the event.

* We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events.

There is no cost for this event.

If Life happens, and you need to cancel, please go to the AOC website and deregister by the deadline. If the site will not cooperate, TEXT me with your NAME at 4O4 7-Five-4 5OO5. FYI, thanks to those annoying robocalls, calling me will send you to my voicemail, but feel free to leave a message.
