Upcoming Events

4/10 - Clear Creek Roll Session 7:30pm to 8:45pm

If you even think that you want to go on the Clear Creek trip next week (there are bound to be spots that open up) then you must attend the roll session. It is important so that you know how to properly control the canoe when going down the river. If you do not know how you will most definitely have a rough weekend.

If you have any questions about it contact Brian.

4/16 - RecSports End of the Year Cookout 5pm - 7pm

Because the cookout is during our regular meeting time (6:30pm) we will have our meeting at 7:30pm, same place as always.

Free cookout that RecSports hosts at the end of every year.

RSVP here so that they can make sure to have enough food (Dead End BBQ).

4/18-4/20 - Hike the AT from Amicalola to Gooch Gap

Trip Lead by Chris Cahill

1. This will not be an easy hike.  We are on a time-table that wont be too strenuous but if you've never backpacked before, this is not a good trip to start with. 
2. We need to be on the road by like 9am on the 18th, latest.  Actually, if we can leave on the 17th I can find us a place to shack-up overnight. 

Rough Itinerary:

Apr. 18, 8:30 AM - Meet and greet
Apr. 18, 9:00 AM - Hit the road
Apr. 18, 1:00 PM - Arrive at Amicalola State Park.

Apr. 18 - Amicalola to Springer (8 mi)
Apr. 19 - Springer to Hawk (8 mi)
Apr. 20 - Hawk to Gooch (9 mi)

Apr. 20 PM - Head home. (Expecting to be back by 10 or 11 pm.)

4/10 - Canoe Training at Aquatic Center 7:30pm to 8:45pm
