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:

Garlic: Optional dinner beforehand at Paizanos Italian Restaurant in Historic Norcross. Eat lots of garlic to ward off evil spirits.

Graves: Urban Hike through downtown Norcross at dusk including a walk through Old Norcross Cemetery which has grave sites dating back to the 1800's.

Gore: Then we're going to Netheworld Haunted House together and we'll go through it as a group.

Join us for a fun night to get in the Halloween Spirit. We'll start out with dinner at Paizanos Italian Restaurant in downtown Norcross. Then from there we'll head out on a 3.5 to 4 mile Urban Hike through Norcross and as it darkens we'll take a detour (seriously though...this is Lauren, and I don't do cemeteries, so Joyce will go with you) through an old cemetery. Sunset is 7:06 pm so a part of this hike will be in the dark. After the Urban Hike, we'll drive a short distance to Netherworld Haunted House (about 4 miles) and do both tours (Banshee and The Hive). The cost for Netherworld is about $30 and it is indoors. Netherworld is the mothertrucker of all haunted houses. If you like to be scared - this is the place to be.

Meet at Paizanos at 5:00 if you want to have dinner with us. Otherwise meet us outside of Paizanos at 6:20 to start the Urban Hike. The hike will take about 2 hours and we should be finished with it by 8:30. We'll leave Norcross and head over to Netherworld. We'll have to buy our tickets and stand in line. The standing in line part is really awesome and is half the fun. I'm estimating it will take 2 hours to complete both tours at the Haunted House. There are lots of places on Jimmy Carter to hit afterwards if anyone wants a late night drink or a hooker. [Just checking to see if anyone actually reads these.] I'm guessing we should be finished by 11:30 or so.

There is an Art Festival in Norcross this weekend. The Festival ends at 6PM on Saturday so we'll hit the tail end of it. Please adjust your arrival time accordingly. Some of us may even go a little bit early and poke around before meeting for dinner.

Private carpools are encouraged. A small flashlight is recommended for the Urban Hike.
