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. If you have no preference, I will choose a destination.

That's all. You will be my "Guest of Honor" on this hike.

So, here we go: Come and join me on the trails at the Island Ford - Unit of the Chattahoochee NRA. There are some rather hilly areas, but none of those are too challenging and the ascents quickly change to descents, giving folks time to catch their breath.

Note: Theses are rain or shine hikes, i.e. dress appropriately. We will of course not hike if there are thunderstorms likely.

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