What Members Are Saying About This Trip/Event

Awesome Western Carolina day! Thanks David for listing on GO, I hope for more events here. If you are in E Tenn or W Caro post a trip and we'll get an active chapter started. We are way better than those light weights in NH! Fastest 10 miles on the AT I've ever done. I lost the weight & got in shape. Peace On, Markusmtn - markmtn
