Introduction

Enjoying outdoor adventures with family & good friends is my idea of the perfect way to spend time.I enjoy modest kayak adventures and peaceful camping trips with hiking, biking for the meek. At 59, I'm trying to squeeze in every bit of life possible

What are your favorite outdoor activities?

calm kayaking, camping, slow paced hiking, easy bike rides, excursions into nature with knowledgeable leaders, exploring GA

Where is the coolest place you've been?

that's a difficult question, as I have favorite places for different reasons... 1st would be kayaking on a beautiful lake or lazy river... Or drinking good coffee overlooking rolling mountains. I love life and beautiful nature in lots of places

What's the most adventurous thing you've done?

Okefeenokee Swamp canoeing... those gators are REALLY BIG! What was I thinking!

Where is your favorite getaway spot?

N GA mountains and lakes...

How did you hear about Outdoor Club South?

ga conservancy and riverkeepers friends talked about what a good group of people participate

Additional Information

"I love the GA Conservancy. The member trips around GA are some of the best! Educational adventures! I also belong to the GA Canoe Assoc., Flintriverkeepers, etc..."

  • I would love to join you in the paddle events - but alas, I have never paddled or rowed a boat or kayaked successfully in my life! I think I paddled a canoe with someone else one time and couldn't get the hang of it, which meant we pretty much went in circles! I do love the water, however, and get close to, or in it, when I can!

  • Hello from the "Appalachian Wilderness Guides" Meetup Group ! We haven't heard from you in a while ! We remain unique in that we are the ONLY Meetup group whose (EASY TO MODERATE RATED) hikes are led by volunteer, professional guides. Also - most hikes are followed by an optional social event that highlights recreational, cultural and / or historical aspects of the area that you've just hiked ! We hope you can join us soon!

  • Thanks for the welcome, Marie. I hope to paddle with you soon. Got my Tsunami 145 for the Altamaha trip. It's kind of a tight squeeze for my behind, but I can get in and out with a can opener, and several strong friends, no problem. Should be a fabulous trip.
