Description: Join your fellow chocolate lovers for this Pre-Valentine's Day hikette on the Noland Trail. This revered annual event challenges participants to explore their wildest chocolate fantasies by creating culinary masterpieces for fellow TATCers to sample. Will you be able to tempt the shrewd and discerning palate of the completely impartial and honorable Judge? Here's how it works: Meet at the Mariner's Museum (100 Museum Drive, Newport News, VA, http://www.marinersmuseum.org) at 9:30 AM. We meet in the parking lot by the museum entrance across from the start of the Noland Trail. Bring a chocolate confection (that you have created) for the Judge (that would be Phyllis) and your fellow hikers to sample. Then we'll hike the Noland trail (~ 5 miles) taking multiple breaks along the way to continue sampling the entries. At the conclusion of the hike, prizes will be awarded for the tastiest and most unique creations. And then we'll eat lunch afterwards
