A group of 4 like minded adventurers explored 12 miles of trail at Dawson Forest. This is a very interesting place. Dawson Forest is very large, especially the Atlanta Tract. Intially, we encountered some navigational challenges, but Bruce is the master of maps and quickly got us back on the trail. Once we were back on one of the blue trails, we hiked as far as we could go when we reached a creek crossing.  The water was deeper than usual and one side of the creek bed was washed out , so we decided to find an alternate root.  With this in mind, we hiked other sections of the blue trail and other trails only to discover that there is much more of Dawson Forest that we wanted to explore. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to explore any more of the trails today, but plan to have more AOC events there to explore this amazing forest! Thanks Anu, Smitha, and Bruce for making this adventure fun!
