Itinerary:

Please join us for an urban hike through historic Roswell.  We will pass Barrington Hall, Bulloch Hall, the Dolvin House known as Jimmy Carter's White House, Roswell's historic churches, "The Bricks" and the old founders cemetary.

Hike is rated D2 but note that this will be a little faster than a normal D2.  We will be walking approx 5 miles at a moderate pace.  We will start at daylight and finish after dark so please wear light colored clothing and bring a small flashlight.  Since it will be dark we will have to stick together as a group.

We will be meeting in the parking lot of Chaplins Restaurant in the Founders Square Shopping Center under the Founders Square sign.  Directions are below.
