Join us for a hike around Czech Siberia- a snowy fairy tale land of forests, quarries, chateaux on snow and mud. 📜📚🗃 Resources: https://mapy.com/s/bakosadoda https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%8Cesk%C3%A1_Sibi%C5%99 https://www.kudyznudy.cz/aktivity/ceska-sibir-drsny-kraj-v-jizni-casti-milicinske ⚠️☢️☣️ Whatever the FORECAST predicts for Sunday (currently just overcast with 1-3 °C throughout the day), it is just a FORECAST. Remember that meteorologists, politicians, teachers etc. bear no consequences for the quality of their work product and dress accordingly. Rain/snow/sleet/freezing fog is always a possibility, expect ICE and MUD. Trust me 😂 📍🗺️ **Trail** approx 25 km • ↑ \~550 m • ↓ \~550 m 🚌🚆🚄✈️**Travel** → express train R17 (R 321 Silva Nortica) + commuter train S90 (Os 8257), departs Praha hl.n. 7:46 ← hourly trains from Votice 🛍️🎒 **Gear & Paraphernalia** – Weather-appropriate outfit, comfortable footwear with good tread, (waterproof layer) – Tea/coffee/water and enough snacks to keep you going Time and again, I've received (mostly unsolicited) advice about gear. I've always taken it just like weather talk. When it comes from the old guard, usually meant well, I guess, just like Gilgamesh, trying not to become irrelevant, I try to take it in with respect. Lately, however, there seems to be this new thing shaming people for the lack of particular brand name gear, often from people who have achieved nothing much and don't really have any experience, except talk. And I really detest that. Beginners need support. At the same time, however, please use common sense: the desert can get both really hot and really cold. You need enough water. It can get windy. Your feet need protection. You need to see. Hiking is in my political opinion supposed to be a free and inclusive activity and I don't want to burden your already strained budget: you can get decent gloves free (with coupon and a purchase: just buy something from the 99 cent section) at Harbor Freight, same goes for a free LED lamp. A good USB rechargeable headlamp starts from $9 on Amazon. The Columbia outlet sells the omni-heat hats for $15 and a coupon + student/military/veteran/teacher or just about any other ID card should push it to around $9. Walmart has hiking shoes for $29 that I put hundreds of miles on without incident, and so can you. 🤑 Petty CASH and other expenses: None, aside from the train tickets (148 CZK ow, less on a group ticket or if you have INkarta) As always: (🧿) Use common sense (🧿) Leave no trace behind (🧿) RSVP with integrity; I need this to decide if to drive or take trains (🧿) If you can't stay with the group either because you want to hike at ftL speeds or can't use your head, then you should hike by yourself or stay home. At the same time, however, hiking is not the construction of a nuclear power plant, but rather a natural activity for humans. If you really want to take it scientifically, the local library system has quite a few resources. You can start with McManners, H. (1998). Hiking (101 essential tips). ISBN 9780789427762 and take it from there. Don't microwave the cat: Please be aware that your Meetup organizers are not tour guides and are not park rangers. Expect the same risks and take the same precautions you would take if you were hiking alone. You are solely responsible for your own safety and well-being. By signing up for and/or attending this Meetup event, you acknowledge, understand, accept, and agree that hiking and other outdoor activities can be dangerous and can cause serious bodily injury and possibly death. The organizers of this group and current and former members cannot be held responsible or liable in any way for the actions of any participant - including you - at any event.

Start the New Year off right! Join us as we get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event to distribute food at the Champion Food Pantry!

Here are complete details and our plan for this event: CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: The Champion Food Pantry provides needed food to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. For this event, we’ll be volunteering to help with Food Distribution during client pick up times. Our group will receive on-the-spot training from some of their seasoned regular volunteers. PLAN FOR CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: Please arrive by 2:45pm. Our volunteer time will be from 3:00 to 6:00pm. LOCATION & PARKING: The Champion Food Pantry is located at 1460 S. Champion Ave in Columbus. Parking is located in the lot on Frebis across from the pantry. Please enter through the door marked "Volunteers enter here” on Frebis Ave. A map has been uploaded to the photos. IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing the majority of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. No shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will mak you ineligible for future CMG Gives Back events.

Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing.
