Introduction

I joined this group hoping to make a few friends and to participate in fun, outdoor activities with other like-minded adults. I have two children ages 9 and 12.

Are you a native Nashvillian or where did you live before moving to Nashville?

I grew up near Flint, Michigan and moved to Dallas, Texas right after graduating High School. After 3 years in TX, I moved back to Michigan and stayed for some years before deciding I had to "get out" again. I moved to Mt Juliet, TN in October of 2000 and have loved it.

Paddlers: What do you paddle - kayak or canoe? What type of water is your first preference, second and third?

Dont' own a kayak or canoe, need to get one. Probably a canoe as I am more familiar with them, but would consider a kayak as a new venture. I've been on rivers and lakes and I have white water rafted a few times on a raft of course. Does this group use mostly Kayaks or canoes?

What are your favorite things to do?

I love to be outdoors wether it is working in the yard, biking, walking, whatever. I like to golf (but never find the time), bike, jet ski, whatever I can do outdoors. I also enjoy home improvement projects (probably more out of necesity more than desire). I've painted all my indoor walls, put down laminate flooring, landscaped my backyard with a bobcat, etc. I enjoy spending time with my kids doing whatever they like.

What Lorie is saying about this Meetup Group

Just a bunch of fun singles and couples enjoying the outdoors.

  • I tried to "click" on "Im going, but wouldn't work". I was reading yours posts. Yes, yes, I want Kayate lessongs. I'm 62 and despite knee problems, I have a BIG Bucket list. lol If it is pouring down rain, I probably wouldn't go tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll be there. Just hope you don't get aggrevated with being slow. A few weeks ago, I took a 10 mile 4 wheeler ride near Lawrenceburg, TN. It is soooo mush fun. But, then I had just had a cortisone shot in my knee. lol lol

    I am the current President of Stones River Watershed Association. Gib Backlund sent me an email stating your desire to be informed about our activities. You will be put on our email list and you may friend me on facebook as well as get feeds from Stones River Watershed on facebook. Sometimes the Stoneswatershed.org is a few days behind.
