We are a bunch of folks who want to SPEND THEIR TIME LIVING LIFE.

1200 events in 9 years and averaging 3 events per week, we kayak, bicycle, hike, camp, travel, climb, and even a little backpacking. Some events are for beginners, some events are for only the most experienced. Some are only a few hours, some are multi day. We are an all volunteer group and are known for being friendly, welcoming, and, of course, active. The group is made up of people from all walks of life with a common interest. While we are enjoying the fresh air and making friends we are also taking into consideration the foot print we leave on our planet, and want people to be more aware, take an interest, and perhaps challenge themselves in preserving our environment.

One of our favorite sayings is " WE NEVER EXPERIENCE A HEADWIND ONLY A PLEASANT BREEZE NO MATTER THE DIRECTION IT BLOWS".

So stop walking the same old path, and venture through the woods, you will get a little dirty, but YOU MAY JUST FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. LIFE.
