After crossing the mile mountain trail, Trena guided us past the dog park to a trail that skirted a water fall (sans water) and a beautiful lake - - Orkin Lake. We retraced our path to go around the other section of Orkin Lake before returning to the parking lot and venturing further onto the trail beside Bull Sluice Lake. 

There were smatterings of flour along the lakeside trail, evidence of Hashers who had been chasing a rabbit in that area .

We welcomed three relatively new AOC members to our Monday hike today - - Holt (on his first event), Jack, and Susie. And trip leader Ron W. joined us today, too! It's always nice to have new folks on the trail and share their excitement at seeing our well-worn trails for the first time.

We were happy to hear Trena's account of her successful weekend running the 100 mile Pinhoti race. Amazing that she finished that race just yesterday and was co-leading this hike today. We were relieved to know that Summer is healing well after her dog attack last week. 

Next week's hike will be the Kennesaw Battlefield hike from Burnt Hickory to Dallas Highway and back. ~ Joyce
