August 27th Trailhead Tuesday

We’ll plan to meet at First United Methodist Church in Franklin at 1pm before heading out to clean up at Bartram Trail trailheads.

This is a program for those looking to get involved with limited time. We will meet in the early afternoon to divide and conquer some minor clean up and trail head maintenance. We’re looking for folks to visit a set of selected trail heads to re-stock Bartram Trail information cards, complete a trail head condition report, pick up any trash in the area, and chat with hikers as they start their day hike.

We’ll supply everything you need for the day. Although we suggest you bring your own gloves, a hat, sunscreen, and a positive attitude.

We’ll meet at 1pm in the parking area at church across from Lazy Hiker Brewing. We’ll regroup between 3-4 and head across the street for a cold beverage on us.

Please RSVP to help with planning for this event:

11 de Julio: Caminata en Dicks Creek Falls

 

Dicks Creek Falls es una caminata corta, de aproximadamente 2 millas de largo. Para esta caminata, nos reuniremos a las 10 de la mañana en el área de estacionamiento de Warwoman y compartiremos el automóvil hasta el comienzo del sendero. Desde allí, después de unos 2 millas, llegaremos a las cascadas. Aquí, podemos disfrutar de la increíble vista y disfrutar del sonido del agua. Luego regresamos y conducimos hasta Sandy Ford, donde disfrutaremos de un buen almuerzo proporcionado por nosotros, y nos daremos un buen baño en el río para refrescarnos.

ENG: Dicks Creek Falls is a short hike, about 2 miles long. For this hike, we will meet at 10 in the morning in the Warwoman Parking Area and carpool to the beginning of the trail. From there, after about 2 miles, we will reach the falls, which go into the scenic Chattooga river. Here, we can take in the amazing view of the falls and enjoy the sound of the water. Then we will head back and ride down to Sandy Ford, where we will enjoy a good lunch provided by us, and take a nice dip in the river to cool off.
