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

This third event is at the Jones Bridge unit of the CNRA.  We will start the hike at 6:30 PM.  From the main parking area at the end of the road (there are restrooms at this location), we will hike toward the river and make a right. After walking along the river for awhile, we will turn inland and do some of the trail loops at this unit and then come back along the river trail.   We should be finish with the hike portion around 8:00 PM.

Afterward, please join us for the optional trivia portion of the event at TJs Sports Bar & Grill (770-552-7700) which is a few miles away from the park at 8:30 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. :)
