Join us for a 7 mile walk from the historic 5 Points area of East Nashville, past LP Field, over the Cumberland River, through the Bicentennial Mall, over to and then down 2nd Avenue, back across the Cumberland via the Shelby Avenue Bridge, once again past LP Field, then back to 5 Points. All of that walking is sure to make us thirsty so we can stop for drinks and/or dinner at one of the local bars afterward.

No map, compass, or water shoes necessary. Wear comfortable footwear and bring some water. See downtown Nashville up close, make fun of tourists and give them bad directions!

Meet at the northwest corner of Forrest Avenue and North 11th Avenue in East Nashville, zip code 37206. It will be the corner next to the East Nashville Public Library parking lot and across from the Red Door Saloon.

Meet at 6PM. Expect the walk to take just over 2 hours.

Due to pedestrian traffic during rush hour dogs are not permitted on this hike.

       I was disappointed in the fact that only half of all "Yes" RSVPs showed. Granted several were added the afternoon of the hike however if you were on the Yes list for more than a day and failed to show then you kept someone on the Waiting List from enjoying the hike.
