Itinerary:
Please allow us to borrow a term from hockey for the first of three (H)at (A)nd (T)rivia events we are doing this week -- a "HAT trick".  :)

This first event is at Kennesaw Mountain.  We will meet at the Visitor Center and we will hike over and down Kennesaw Mountain and up toward the top of Little Kennesaw Mountain until we reach the bench around the cannons up there.  We will take a short break if needed then back track over Kennesaw Mountain again to return to the Visitor Center for a total of about 4 miles going at a moderate to semi-fast pace.

We will start the hike promptly at 5:30 pm and should be finished around 7:15 pm.

Afterward, please join us for the optional trivia portion of the event at "Keegans Public House" (678-213-2460) which is only a few miles away from the park at 7:30 PM.

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 we know whether we need to reserve a large table for us.  Thank you.  :)
