Itinerary:

Let's do a couple of loops on Pine Mountain to start our Sunday off right!  Our approximately 4.5-mile trek will cover the east and west trails, with a jaunt up to the spectacular summit overlook.  We will meet at the west trail parking lot.  The pace will be a moderately fast 2.5 - 3mph, but we'll slow down a bit on the steeper ascents. 

After the hike, we will have the option to enjoy lunch at Swheat Deli just down the road in downtown Cartersville.  Swheat closes at 3pm on Sundays, so NO SLACKERS!
