Hawthorne Trailhead to Paynes Prairie Overlook on the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trial

This was the second day of a 2 day bike event where we car camped at Paynes Prairie State Park. On Sunday we broke camp early enough to get us to Hawthorne for a good start as we would explore this end of the trail since last year we started in Gainesville. The three of us; Carol, Laurel and Clark, got in 26 miles in on this delightful morning. More details can be found on the North Marion and Gainesville-Hawthorne event.
