Itinerary:
Hi All!  
Wanna walk off some turkey calories and avoid shopping madness?!  We will do a nice workout at Cochran Shoals Interstate North Pkwy Unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.  

BTW, I was there earlier this week and saw a gigantic Blue Herring right by the entrance and a big covy of Mallard husbands and wives near the boardwalk.

We will meet in the parking lot and wait a few minutes and head out by 10:15.  Bring some singles, there is a $3 daily use fee. 

We will hike out on the main wide trail, and then head away from the river into the backside, less-traveled trails.  We will try to maintain a 3.5 - 4 mph pace for 3 hours.  We will just keep navigating until we reach a halfway point timewise, and then turn back.  

When we finish, we can drive up the hill and have a beer and a slice together at Mellow Mushroom.

We will hike on trails in the following areas, click for map:
Cochran Shoals Interstate North Parkway Area
Cochran Shoals Sope Creek Area
