Thu, Aug 25 2016 - Alpharetta Greenway - Easy Hike (View Original Event Details) Trip Leader(s): Ralph Howard Participants: Ralph Howard, mary carter, Gayle M.

The three of us had a good brisk hike, covering 6.2 miles in 1 hour and 52 minutes. We stopped at the last bridge on the way out because Gayle was surprised at all of the downed trees in the creek, and were rewarded with the sight of a very large turtle slipping off of a downed tree trunk into the water. Gayle and I both estimated it was about 1 1/2 ft long - the biggest turtle either of us has seen in our Atlanta area hikes.
