Itinerary:

Come check out a beautiful fairly unknown Atlanta park as we wait out the government shutdown.

The plan is to keep up a steady fast pace(3.5mph) for the entire duration of the hike with NO REST BREAKS and only a couple very brief stops at points of interest.  Although the hike is only 5 miles and over relatively easy terrain it is rated as a D3 event due to the pace and is most suitable for people who can comfortably complete D4 and D5 events. I will be walking the entire way but some people have found that they may have to slowly jog to keep up.

This hike will be looping around through the woods along creeks and up and down some nice hills.

We will try our best to finish in 90 minutes and the exact route that we end up taking will be tweaked depending how the group is doing so that we finish on time.  Please try to arrive a couple of minutes early as we will be starting right on time at 10am
