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: | |||||||
Nestled in the rolling hills of Georgia’s upper Piedmont, this is one of northern Georgia’s best kept secrets. A beautiful stream flows through the park, providing the perfect setting for an after-picnic stroll. Hikers can follow either the short nature trail or the longer perimeter trail that travels through hardwoods and crosses creeks. Animal lovers should keep an eye out for wildlife while passing food plots along the perimeter trail. Two small ponds are open for public fishing, and a swimming pool is open during summer. Pioneer camping (aka car camping) is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, make new friends and still feel like you have all the comforts of home. Bring all your comfy, luxury camping equipment to enjoy good times with new and old friends. The site is located by itself and has water, a real restroom (!), a shelter with picnic tables, and 2 adirondack shelters that sleep about 10 each. There are lantern posts, ground grills, a group fire ring, and flagpole. Showers are available at the office bathroom for $3 per person. There is no electricity in the campsite. We will arrive Friday afternoon/evening (feel free to arrive anytime after 1pm), setup camp, cook up a good dinner and relax around the fire with fun conversation, stories and games. Music lovers are encouraged to bring their instruments. Saturday morning, we will have a nice breakfast, pack a picnic lunch, and head off for a moderate hike within the park. Later, we will cook up a gourmet dinner and again relax around a roaring fire and enjoy the good company. Sunday, it is a light breakfast, and then pack for home. We should be out of there Sunday morning by 11am. As with all of my trips, everyone pitches in to help cook and clean up afterwards. To keep us organized, I will be e-mailing out a sign-up list for meals. If you have a specific meal you would prefer to cook or clean-up for, please let me know in the notes section when you register for the trip. *PLEASE NOTE: expect late nights carousing around the campfire, a little dog slobber, and an awesome weekend! | |||||||
