What RainFly, Karen is saying about this Meetup Group

If your a looking for a smart, educated, diverse, well-rounded group--- this one is for you. This group is not in it for the money, but for the LOVE of the outdoors and the adventure it brings!! If you love packs on your back, rain in your face, pushing yourself past your limit, then-- ending the evening with a fire and good conversation yep, this group is for you.

Mike Hart

Thanks for the welcome. I hope I can fit in well with the group.

Hi Karen; I've been there, done that. Whitewater kayaking on the Chattooga River, riding my bicycle on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, hiking Table Rock, Paris Mountain, and Chattooga River corridor trails. Used to camp out along the Chattooga. I'd still like to do more great outdoors stuff while I'm still able to do it. Must remember to throw in a writing pad to record my inspirations. I'm a freelance writer.
