Sat, Jul 26 2014 - A Walk in the Park at Mason Mill Park (View Original Event Details) Trip Leader(s): Charlie Cottingham, Eva Participants: Eva, Carin, Davida, Eloisa I, Sheri, Eileen, Caitlin Stark, Aaron Lee, Mark W, Tatiana, Charlie Cottingham, Joyce T., Ron S, Stacey, Mariah C, Silvia, Gary Babiarz, Mark

Our big fun group had a fine time together exploring the numerous trails, beautiful creeks, high ridges and historic ruins between Mason Mill and Medlock Parks.  We enjoyed having new members Mariah, Ron and Eileen with us - for each of them only their 1st or 2nd hike with our fine Club.  Special congrats to Eva's friend Eloisa who had been sidelined from AOC events for awhile due to an injury but now is hiking in fine form again!
Thanks to Eva for planning and posting this late-afternoon event just a day before it took place.  It's a good example of what a thriving Club we have, with the ability to bring a nice group of outdoor enthusiasts and friends together on "a moment's notice." Kudos to Mark for helping us make route choices along the way and for introducing us to some interesting new terrain and side trails.
Thanks to Joyce Taaffe for this link to her colorful Facebook album of shots she took during the hike; we look forward to sharing more such photo links! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10153258615250260.1073742259.540275259&type=1&l=d2ab4138bd
