Itinerary:

 

 

That said, RAIN or SHINE, we'll hike the refurbished South Peachtree Creek boardwalk from MEDLOCK PARK to the Candler Lake loop (on the Emory campus) and back. We'll maintain a brisk pace (3.5-4mph or 16-17minute/mile) for the duration of the hike, with one hydration break at the Emory campus lake.  The majority of the hike is on a wooden boardwalk or concrete path, with some sections on gravel, dirt etc., so wear appropriate footwear.

Please arrive a few minutes early for introductions.
