Atlanta ICO volunteers and youth from the Club visited Sweetwater Creek State Park on a beautiful sunny Saturday. An ICO Leader gave a tour of the Interpretive Center to explain why it has the highest possible rating as an environmentally responsible building with solar panels, “green” architecture, and recycled waste. We hiked the wooded trail to the mill ruins, observing the leaves of the American Beech and other signs of winter along the way. After lunch, the group took the Yellow trail that crosses the creek, ascends a steep ridge, then returns via the bottomlands paralleling the creek. Despite the strenuousness of the trail, the youth set a lively pace that finished the hike early, leaving more time to look at the interesting displays in the Interpretive Center.
