Additional Hiking Info

• Meeting place: Wal Mart parking lot on Woodruff Rd.
• Meeting time: 8:00am
• Return time: no later than 6:00pm
• Destination: Sam’s Knob/Black Balsam, in the Pisgah National Forest (and possibly some smaller trails for folks who are up to it)

Details:

• The drive is almost 2 hours to the hike. The hike from the parking lot to the field where we will eat lunch is about a 20 minute hike max. (easy)
• (There will be restrooms about a 10 minute walk/hike from where we will be eating lunch)
• The hike from the field to the top of Sam's Knob is about 45 minutes at a walking pace. (moderate)
• Once we reach the top of the mountain there is plenty of room for people to have fun, enjoy the view and explore.
• If there are some individuals that are unable to hike Sam's knob we may be able to split the group and have one group stay in the field or head to the creek.
• From there, we will be hiking from the field down to a creek (about 20 minutes) to play around and cool off. This is of course after we come back down the mountain as there is only one trail up the mountain. (easy)
• We should have no problem getting back at 1800.

Hiking Trip!

The Parent/Youth of our church will be taking a hiking trip on Saturday, July 17th and the Singles group will be helping out - to make it a

Parent/Youth & Singles hike. This hike will be in place of our normal CrossCurrent meeting. We will not be meeting on the 18th.

We will be leaving at 8:00am on Saturday, July 17th and heading up to the Brevard, North Carolina area. We are planning a full day of hiking, lunch

together and fun and we will return to Greenville around 6:00pm that evening.

We are really excited about getting together to just enjoy the great outdoors and each other's company and we'd love to have you there with us.

The hike will be a good chance not only to get together with other Parents and Youth of our church, it will also provide you with a chance to build

godly friendships with Singles in the church who are following the Lord just a few years ahead of you.

Please e-mail Jessica{at}sgcsc[dot]org if you can make it and also let us know if you'd be interested in helping with coordinating the hike itself too (our very own Eagle Scout, Josh Pratt will be helping lead the effort).

In addition, if you or someone you know has a van or minivan that can be used to carpool, it would be very helpful - just let Jessica know that in the e-mail as well.

I'm looking forward to this hike - it will be lots of fun!

Your bro,

-Matt

P.S. I anticipate either packing brown-bag style lunches or charging a nominal fee to cover the expense of lunch. If either is a challenge for you though, don't let that hinder you.
