I am the State Naturalist for Tennessee State Parks and would like to lead outings to our parks and natural areas for everyone that is interested. I have been a Ranger for 26 years before I took to traveling as the statewide nature guide.
From several people that are members. I also saw the Facebook page and thought that this is a group I would like to get to know.
great group, interested in everything about the trail

Hey Randy, I couldn't find a place on the site saying that I'm not able to attend the Montgomery Bell hike and I know there's a waiting list. Anyway, my slot is open. Thanks,
Sterling
Hi Randy, welcome to the group!
Randy, I thoroughly enjoyed this weekend's nature hike at Johnsonville. Thanks, and I look forward to our meeting up again in the near future.
Randy...it was great seeing you again yesterday on the Tellico...enjoy
ed sharing my lunch with you and thanks for the soda!...would love it if you can plan another hike in Savage Gulf. Hope to see you on the next snorkeling trip on the Hiawassee.
Welcome to Tennessee Wild Randy! No need to register for Sunday's snorkel. You are my invited guest.
Hi Randy! I see the hike is filled for 1000 steps. Is ther any chance you will repeat this hike?Cathy Barnett
I think you should organize an encore hike in Savage Gulf and the Falls there ,Randy, for all the folks in Chattanooga Hiking Meetup who could not go with Rhonda last time. But give me a heads up so I can get in! I'm betting it would fill very quickly!
Thank you so much. We had a great time.
I'm looking forward to the Franklin State Forest hike on Feb 12th. I'm not a speed-hiker and like to take the time to pay attention to and notice what can be seen and heard along the trail. The 8-mile length is going to be 2 or 3 more miles than I'm used to hiking, but I'll make it. I've heard that there aren't any drastic elevation changes along this hike (is that true?). I'm looking forward to meeting you.
Welcome to the Chattanooga Hiking Meetup, Randy ! Good to have you aboard. We look forward to the hikes that you'll be leading some of our members on. As a state naturalist, I'm sure there will be much to glean from you. I know they'll be in good hands. Looking forward to hearing the rave reviews.
