What we’re about
"I chose the road less travelled… Now I don’t know where I am."
"Never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost, and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that." - Ellen Degeneres
"Bring a compass. It's awkward when you have to eat your friends." - Unknown
So maybe we caught your interest?
Quick note then I’ll tell you what we’re about. We’ve never gotten lost or had to look at members as a food source. This is Chattanooga Outdoor Adventures not the Donner Party (some of you will get that).
We enjoys the outdoors in all forms. Events like Hiking, Rafting, Kayaking, and everything else.
But wait there’s more! I sound like a Ginsu knife commercial. Let’s not let any of the Donners have one of those.
We also plan other great activities in and around Chattanooga. Not just hiking. Musical events, food and wine festivals. A concert in a cave, you get the idea
It’s an open group and would love to get everyone involved and plan a lot of different things. Inclusion and fun are key.
Not just hiking, Adventures of all kinds

The plan is to meet for dinner on Friday night, and for Saturday everybody can choose what they would like to do, Skiing, Snowtubing, explore the town or drive to the Casino which is an hour away.
On Saturday night we will have a game night, which is usually the highlight of the trip.
Please note if you would like to do things on your own then this is not the trip for you. If you overdue for a romantic getaway then this is also not the trip for you.
We don't have a fix schedule other than Friday night dinner and Game Night on Saturday. We want to show up as a group and do things together as much as possible. So, all I am asking for is bring the meetup mindset, as always. Thanks
I have done this trip twice and loved it... so much fun and such a great opportunity to meet new friends.
See you in the SNOW

Wreath Removal-Chattanooga National Cemetery, Brunch After
Chattanooga National Cemetery, 1200 Bailey Ave, Chattanooga, TN, US**Update Arnold will be taking over a event host! Looking forward to seeing you there!
SPECIAL NOTE! I realized this morning that I will be out of town that weekend. I am going to see my other daughter to celebrate a late Christmas. Yes I still have to wrap gifts! Anyways, I am going to keep this event up because I think it is important, but it will be an unhosted event unless someone else comes along who wants to host it or at least take lead on it.
First, Photo Credit to Sunny. She was there for the wreath laying with us and these were taken on this day. She always has some great pictures.
I posted a New Years thing on our Facebook and someone called it in a text to me an E-novel. Someone else in the actual post a novel...
Maybe I should be brief. There is a quote on it I think.
"Brevity is the soul of lingerie"- Dorothy Parker
No that's not it. Let me google again.
"Brevity is the sister of talent" Anton Chekhov
No that guy was pretty succinct. I am more of a Tolstoy or Dostoevsky.
"Brevity is the soul of wit" William Shakespeare
Yep, that's the one
So I will keep this one short. I am taking a large part of January off to recharge. I will probably do some off book hiking and other activities with a few people, but not posting a lot fo events. Hopefully some others will post some stuff (Hint Hint)
This one is different. I want to do this.
It is the Wreath removal for the wreaths we placed at the National Cemetery.
More Info here
Wreaths Across America-Removal website
Here are the basics.
Meet at the Arch. I will put another one of Sunny's pictures of it up in the photos. I think I adjusted the pin in the directions to the right place if you click on that.
Parking is tough. Find a spot wherever you can.
Bring work gloves if you have them and a broomstick or rope. The purpose them is to string up multiple wreaths to carry to the curb. I am bringing my hiking poles.
Comfortable clothes to work in and the physical ability to do so.
After we go up to Outpost for a meal together and visit.
Here is their website.
Outpost Bar and Grill
Then go have fun on your own I am as I said going very light on events this month. Maybe other hosts will host stuff. Hin,t Hint6 attendees
