Charlie Interview

What do you like about GayOutdoors?

Sharing things I like to do with new friends. 

What was your first GO excursion? How did it turn out?

My first Day on the Delaware activity was my first excursion. I invited people to kayak, bike, tube on the river and picnic. I tell the participants it’s their day and I work hard to make it a joyful day for them. It’s at lot of work but I get to meet new people and see old friends. It also usually leads to several new sign ups for GO.

What is your favorite Pennsylvania hike?

Rickett’s Glen State Park PA. The 22 waterfalls on the main trail make this a hike with constant surprises. 

What would members be most surprised to learn about you?

I did much of the work to build my own house.

What is your favorite Adventure Travel place?

I haven’t travelled much so I’ll say right here in Pennsylvania which has so much to offer in one state. 

Complete this sentence...you know it's been a good GO trip when...

everyone wants to hang out longer or go for something to eat. 

And now for the lightning round...favorite healthy food?

Peaches.

Favorite "bad" food?

Chocolate.

Favorite hike snack?

Raisons.

Favorite indoor activity?

Sleep.

If you could spend the day on the trail with one person, living or dead, it would be…

Right now it would be my state senator Pat Toomey. I’d like to have his undivided attention to talk about upgrading Pennsylvania’s natural areas especially along the Delaware River.
