Introduction

Hey! I'm the organizer of this Meetup and a guide/naturalist with our group's sponsor - "Appalachian Wilderness Guides". I'm originally from Kalispell, Montana but have lived all over the country and have been a guide for over 20 years now!

Do you have any hiking or outdoors experience?

Extensive outdoors experience and a guide for over 20 years, certified in Wilderness First Aid, Wilderness Rescue, accredited naturalist, Appalachian historian, certified in "Leave No Trace". I've lived and guided in this area for 16 years now.

Do you have any limitations or health problems?

No

Would you be willing to pay a $20 fee for our activities?(ensures folks honor their RSVP's in "iffy"/foul weather - covers volunteer,pro guides travel costs/covers Meetup site fees/any funds left @ years end donated to Appalachian Trail Conservancy)-

Yes

Would you be OK signing a waiver before each trip (saying what is verbally understood in every type of "Meetup" group = you are not a client / you and your guests are responsible for your own safety on the trip & travelling to & from the trip)?

Yes

What's your favorite north georgia trail?

Various parts of the Georgia section of Appalachian National Scenic Trail

  • Thanks for the note, Bob. I want to join you guys for the hike on July 14th, it looks really great. I will firm up my schedule before I commit and sign up, but I am really excited about it. Thanks for organizing things!

  • Thanks, Bob! I have signed up for the Intro to the AT hike next month, and am looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the group.

  • I will inquire of our group's interest in organizing a MeetUp that's a hike with you. I am Pres of the Booth Photography Guild in Cartersville and I enjoy the outdoors. We are only 1 1/2 yrs old and don't' have a particular photography focus. How many folks typically go on your hikes, i.e. the one April 28? Is it moderate skill level? I'm in pretty good shape but don't like to hustle through a hike!

  • Bob - Saw your name on the MeetUp site of Booth Photography Guild. Does your hiking group include a 'focus' (!) on photography out on the trails? Sounds interesting if so! Lynn

  • Thanks for keeping up. I take care of my 82 and 83 yr old aunt and uncle so can't bring them on hikes with me. I will have them for maybe a couple more months and then I will be hitting the trails again.
