Happy Birthday USA 🇺🇸!

Another memorable adventure with the Atlanta Outdoor Club!! Thanks to trip leader Katherine Bennett for organizing a fun 6.2-mile urban hike around Decatur/Oakhurst. She notes, " We had a great group of people and perfect weather conditions for a morning event. After the hike, we kept the fun going with a social hour at a member’s home."

Atlanta Outdoor Club profile on Trip Leader Tony Ciccarello: He says, "It was nearly 20 years ago now when I joined the club, but I vaguely remember that I did so to meet some other outdoorsy folk, and share some adventures with them. The best aspect of the club is how welcoming and friendly everyone is, both the trip leaders and participants...and how it is absolutely effortless to make new friends, if you participate in events, even occasionally. And once you do many events, you are seeing old friends and meeting new people, every time, and it's always stimulating and fun. " Learn more about our variety of events at AtlantaOutdoorClub.com
