| Itinerary: |
Ok so no valentine date? Maybe you do have one? Either way come on an easy backpacking trip! I plan to leave our carpool at 8am and get up to the trailhead about 9:30ish.
Now Panther Creek is a very popular place for hikers and I am hoping with the cold and the holiday we might have a thinner crowd to compete with. Starting about 1.5 miles - 2 miles in are 2 campsites and the further in we get the more there are. I did this trip yesterday and counted 4 decent campsites.
Either way we will be near a good water source! We should be up at camp by 11-12. Set up camp and gather fire wood which is Lucy's job your fearless co trip leader. Once we have camp set up I plan to lead some people to the falls which is another 1-2 miles further up depending on the campsite we chose. Once then come back and eat dinner and settle in the for the evening of hanging out around the campfire.
Feel free to bring your dogs and adult beverages but again please be responsible for you 4 legged friend and beverages.
Once we wake up the next morning I am not in a huge hurry so maybe leave the campsite by 9am?? Then head back to Atlanta.

| Carpool Cost: | |
Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $53.28 (calculated at total miles (144) * $0.370, effective Wednesday, September 08, 2010). This is based on the current gas, maintenance, and other costs of $0.370 per mile as stated by the IRS & Cars.com. This should be divided by the total number of people in the vehicle (incl driver).
For example: With 4 people in the vehicle, the expense per person on this trip would be $13.32 Alternately your carpool driver may choose to split the maintenance cost plus the actual gas cost among all in the vehicle. Your carpool driver will confirm exactly how much money they require to cover costs. Please split the actual cost among all people in the vehicle.
