Write the Docs NC Social Hike @ Bass Lake

Join North Carolina Write the Docs for a social hike on the beautiful Bass Lake Trail in Holly Springs!

Network, swap stories, and make new friends in the field of technical writing. All are welcome, whether you are a 20-year career writer, someone contemplating entering the documentation field, or anything in between.

The trail is a mulched 1.9-mile loop with minimal trip hazards and mostly flat terrain with one steeper section around 1.4 miles.

Details:

• When: October 19th @ 1:00PM EST
• Where: Meet at the Bass Lake Park visitor center.
• Distance: 1.9 miles/loop (plan for two loops)
• Who: Technical writers, career changers, editors, students, content strategists, and anyone in related fields who enjoys nature and good conversation about documentation!

What to bring:

• Snacks and water
• Sunscreen and bug spray
• Comfortable walking shoes

After the hike, feel free to continue the discussion on the visitor center deck overlooking Bass Lake.

Parking
Parking at the visitor center can fill up quickly if other events are being held. If the parking lot is full, additional parking is available. To reach it, take a right out of the visitor center parking lot, then take the second right (look for a gate with "BL" insignia). The additional lot connects to the trail and is a short walk from the visitor center.

Rain Date
If there is a high chance of rain during the walk, an announcement will be made on the #carolinas Write the Docs Slack channel and this event will be updated. The backup date for this event is one week later, October 26th.
