Itinerary:


Do you want to hike at a particular area in or around Atlanta? On a certain day? Mornings? Afternoons? You got it.

Here is how it works:

* Email your preferred date(s) ... at least two options ... and time(s) to Lemmy.AOC@gmail.com
* Chose a category D1, D2, or D3.
* Name your favorite area / destination (within max 1 hour travel time from Atlanta). If you have no preference, I will choose a destination.
That's all. You will be my "Guest of Honor" on this hike.

Come join me on the trails at the Gold Branch Unit of the Chattahoochee NRA. There are three trails designated red, blue, and yellow. We will walk a loop covering most of these trails. The western part of this loop goes through rolling pine forest. The eastern part goes along the bank of Bull Sluice Lake, formed by the Chattahoochee River behind Morgan Falls Dam.

If you have any questions e-mail the Event Coordinator.
