Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Let's go explore the trails through the woods from Medlock Park to Mason Mill Park and into Lullwater Park. This is a beautiful area where you can forget you are in the city. 

This is labeled as an exploratory hike because I have only hiked here a few times, so I do not know this area very well. I want to learn these trails, so come explore with me. And if you already know this area, come help us navigate.

We will stay in the woods as much as possible, but we will likely be on the boardwalk and concrete/asphalt surfaces sometimes, too. 

Please bring an exploratory attitude and a week's worth of food in case we get lost. :)

There are bathrooms available in Medlock Park. Parking is free. We will meet by the playground.

We will be starting the hike promptly at 8:30, so please arrive 10 minutes early for introductions and socializing.

Full disclosure: this picture is not from Medlock Park. :)
