Triangle Hiking and Outdoors Group

"Welcome to THOG. Your photo is hilarious -- it looks like you're either in a squirt boat or your kayak sprung a leak."

"View from Cooks wall"

"Hi, I love to hike and be in the outdoors. I have experience as a previous explorer scout and want to meet with others who like to hike, canoe, kayak, bird and nature watch and generally be out in natural surroundings."

"Thanks for leading another great hike, Mr. National Park guru! "

"Agh! - I just can't stand when people post a picture that looks nothing like what they do in person! Jenn's kinda that way ... she looks much cuter in person, than in her picture! ;) "

"Thanks for the Advil! That was a life saver.. or at least a knee saver!"
