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?!

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.

Red Dane will not be able to speak to us as tentatively planned.

But I was able to scrounge around locally and come up with a substitute of sorts. Model-T has graciously offered to step in.
:D
The title of Model-T's talk will be "Chasin' Life With a Hiking Stick."

Bearpaw will lead, as last year, a noon hike at Radnor Lake of about 5 miles, with alternative loops for anyone wanting an easy, flat walk on mulched paths.

I wish this was in knoxville or tri cities. Just a little to far for me to drive.

Just do what I did. Announce it ... and they will come. :)

First time, I had little idea who or how many might show up, but was willing to count on dinner with a single other hiker as a success. Low and behold, over a dozen showed up.

Anyway, I encourage other hikers to organize their own. I don't have a copyright, but will be happy to charge a franchise fee! LOL
