Are you ready for the Zombie Hunt?
I'll be leading a group on a run starting at 8pm into the hills north of the triad to hunt zombies!

Each of the letters on the route (except for start and end) are haunted sites, so there is a story to go with each. Should help since some of these are well worn THMMC roads (night will be a new element as well). Alas, I could find no locations where zombies had been sighted.
There might be about 100 yards of packed gravel road at Davis Chapel Church. Looked like the church was right about where the pavement ends. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure all the roads are paved.
The Route starts at the shopping center where the Hardee's and Subway are located at the Hwy 65 exit. Route ends at Dairi-O. Their web site says they close at 11:00 on Saturdays. Mapsource says the route is 1 hr 45 minutes, so we'll be cutting it close if we wanted to get there before they close.
