**11/20/10 Beltline Hike planned**
Hello friends and hikers,

improvements, so join me this Saturday as we hike the stretch from
Amsterdam Walk south to DeKalb Ave. Also it's supposed to be 64 and
sunny!
Details...
What: FREE 5-6 mile walk on the eastside Beltline trail
When: 10am-1pm (can be cut short)
Where: meet at Amsterdam Walk (550 Amsterdam Ave, ATL)
Who: EVERYONE is invited including kids, adults, and leashed dogs
Why: great weather calls for a great walk to see some great changes
Check out this PBA video from last year to see what this section of the
Beltline USED to look like: (and to see what Angel and I looked like too)

Hidden Forests hike July 10th
Hello Urban Hiking family- long time, no see!
I know the heat is quickly returning, but we are going to attempt our
first summer urban hike this Saturday at 10am, so put a reminder in your
iPhone/Blackberry/calendar!
This one will be a tour of hidden forests in Atlanta. We'll meet at the North side of the Candler Park Marta station at 10AM this Saturday, July 10th.
Bring water and a snack if you like. Plan on hot and humid as we will be
back in that typical summer routine by this weekend.
Looking forward to seeing you Saturday.
Should you need to contact me call my cell at 404-403-0822.
Best,
Eli

May 1st Ponce de Leon History Hike
Hi UrbanHikers!
It's been awhile since we did a hike other than Beltline or forest hikes,
so on May 1st we're going to walk from west to east down the Ponce de Leon
corridor and learn all about the history of this part of Atlanta from our
group leader Tom Zarrilli.
Details:
Where? Meet at the MARTA Station entrance @ Ponce and W. Peachtree.
(Across from the FOX, AT& T bldg)
When? 10AM start, finish around lunch time
Who? ANYONE and EVERYONE is invited. This is FREE as always.
Distance? 2.5 miles +/-
Stops? countless historical points and a stop at Krispy Kreme for coffee
and doughnuts and Whole Foods for restrooms
Other info? This is a 1-way hike, so either plan to stage a car with
friends at the Plaza on the east end (Ponce and Highland area) or take the
#2 Marta bus back to where we started.
We did this last year and got RAVE reviews. Don't miss out this time!!
RSVP to me if you're interested so we have an idea of how many to expect.
Thanks and see you in May!

Hi UrbanHikers and friends,
There's snow possible tomorrow, but saturday looks warmer and sunny.
Let's go for a walk!
Option #1- 12 noon Urban Hike on the Beltline with Angel Poventud:
We will be meeting at 12:00 PM on Saturday, February 13 at the end of Lena

Washington Park and go south to Allene Ave. From there it will go to the
West End Marta Station, where we will ride MARTA to the Ashby station, and
walk from there to the beginning of the route. We will be taking and
answering questions about the temporary art project and the BeltLine on
the walk.
This is a rain or shine event. Please bring water, a snack, comfortable
shoes that can contend with kudzu and mud, $2 for the fare for MARTA, and
be ready to enjoy a beautiful walk through the Westside and Southwest of
Atlanta. See you on the BeltLine.
Option #2- Champion tree tour and workshop in Fernbank Forest:

warm clothes! Plan to walk about 1-2 miles. More info:
