    Third Annual WB, HF Nashville Winter Dinner

    As posted on WB by Rain Man:

    Third Annual WhiteBlaze Nashville Winter Dinner - Saturday, February 14, 2009

    Yes, boys and girls, Valentine's Day 2009! A good excuse to get out and take your Honey to dinner ... AND get to talk backpacking!

    Here's the itinerary:

    Noon (or thereabouts) - a hike at Radnor or Warner or wherever someone wants to lead one. Details to be announced if someone volunteers to lead this activity. Bearpaw, you listening?

    5:00 - THE MAIN EVENT: Dinner at Ruby Tuesday's next door to REI in Brentwood.

    7:00 - Presentation at REI by Trine (Red Dane) about her AT thru-hike. She hiked alone and began on January 7th, so lots of pics of snow and ice! Finished in August. She kept a journal on TrailJournals.com, I believe. (This is tentative until next week.)

    Questions? Volunteers? Complaints? Anyone needing a place to stay? Anyone offering a place to stay for out-of-towners?

    If you need to MapQuest a map or directions to the REI, here is the address (and phone number)--
    261 Franklin Road
    Brentwood, TN 37027
    (615) 376-4248

    REI has a new "community room" in their newly renovated and expanded store and they are looking forward to having our group for the evening.

    I'm looking forward to seeing whoever is able to attend. Nothing like getting together for good food and yakking with fellow AT hikers. Well, except hiking?!

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    Hey, I didn't think about the REI dividend, but you're right!!!

    And for the past two years, this has been a fun gathering (or is it three years? I can't recall). Looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it.
