Please join me for another HOTT event to the Cochran Shoals (Interstate North Parkway) unit of the CNRA. There are restrooms at this location. We will hike along the river for awhile and then turn left and hike inland at the "Wildlife Viewing Area" sign and do some of the trail loops in the park with a few minor climbs. We will hike just under 5 miles at a moderate to semi-fast pace with only a very short rest half way thru. We will start at 6:00 PM and should finish the hike portion around 7:30 PM. Afterward, please consider joining me for the optional trivia portion of the event at Mellow Mushroom - Marietta (770-933-8584) at 8:00 PM. It is less than a mile away at the corner on Powers Ferry Road and Windy Hill Road. Don't worry if you are not "good" at trivia. It is just an excuse to socialize after a hike! :) When you sign up, please write in the note section whether you plan to attend the optional trivia portion or not so I know whether I need to reserve a large table for us. Thank you. :) | |||||||
