Itinerary:

We're honored to have such an interest in the morning Officer's hike that we've decided to do it again in the afternoon. We're hoping to accomodate all of our new members who are interested in attending.

The new 2013 AOC Officers and Member Ambassadors would like to invite our newer members to enjoy a short hike at Vickery Creek in Roswell.  We will hike about 4 miles at a leisurely pace.  This is a great chance for newer members to learn about the AOC and for officers to meet our newest members. 

Registration opens January 1 at 9pm. This is a newcomer's hike so if you have more than 10 events at sign up time, you may be moved to the waiting list so we can accomodate the newest members. If you are moved, I'll personally email you and let you konw.

We are meeting at the Roswell Mill entrance to the Vickery Creek trailhead and parking is free. Detailed directions are below.


Required Items to Bring:

water, gatorade or whatever you like to keep hydrated (important)
No flip flops or shoes without a backstrap please

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

snacks to fuel yourself
hiking poles if you dig 'em
sunscreen/bug spray according to the season and weather
appropriate clothing


How to Get There:
Event Directions:

 

There are a lot of ways to get to the Roswell Mill. It's at 120 and S. Atlanta Road in Roswell. Use either the physical address below or the lat/lon coordinates to get your own directions. We are meeting behind all of the shops at the Mill. Just keep going towards the water.

We are meeting at the trailhead behind the shops of Roswell Mill. It is where Hwy 9 (S. Atlanta St) and Hwy 120 (Marietta Hwy) intersect. There's a popular restaurant called Chaplin's in that shopping center. When you turn in to the shopping center (from either direction) you will be on Mill St. - Mill St dead ends in to Mill St. (thank you Roswell) and you take a right on to Mill St which will dead end in to the parking lot.
