No more exploratories needed at these trails - - we found the elusive Mason Bridge Trail that we missed on the last AOC hike here.  It isn't well marked, and access to the double loop trail is over a mile off the Rusty Bucket Trail, but we were happy to be the first AOC group to explore this area.  The 80+ degree temperatures made the 12+ miles challenging, but there were no complaints, and everyone kept up with the fairly brisk pace.  We altered our return route so as to not go too much beyond the planned 11-12 miles - - maybe next time we can go for 15. An early dinner at the Acworth Hong Kong Star was a nice cap to the afternoon for John, Janet, and Joyce - - the three J's.
