Thu, Mar 4 2021 - Hiking Tripleheader in Oak Grove neighborhood parks, NE metro Atlanta (View Original Event Details) Trip Leader(s): Charlie Cottingham Participants: Charlie Cottingham, Joe Baiyor, Michael S, David W., Maithy, Gloria Colley, Jeanne, Vince O

Had a good time together on this memorable "combo event." The blue-sky mid-60s weather was a special treat, as was observing a couple of large hawks and other birds & wildlife.  After exploring Frazier-Rowe Park and its adjoining Coralwood Nature Preserve we drove 5 minutes eastward to nearby Briarlake Forest where its huge old-growth beeches, oaks, and other interesting trees & plants were spectacular.  To round out the triple-header we car-caravaned 5 minutes northward to Mary Scott Park where we enjoyed its scenic ~half-mile loop trail down to its historic creekside chimneys & back.
  It was a pleasure to have a young medical student, Vince with us on his first event as a new AOC member...also a bit of a luxury to have just eight in our group, making it easy to get to know everyone.  Submitted by Charlie, Fri Mar 5th
