A meetup for those who want to enjoy the outdoors with like-minded folks. Our meetups mostly involve an outdoor theme - we try to do lots of kayak/canoe events, also cycling, hiking, walking, running, camping, exploring, cookouts, travel, festivals, perhaps the occasional adventure... You name it, we'll do it, mostly in smaller groups, mostly in/near Nashville, but always 'active'. Come and join us!

This meetup group is designed for people who enjoy hiking, caving, camping, backpacking, and spending quality time in the outdoors.  Our group name only suggests where we we begin---because we routinely explore parts of Eastern Tennessee, North Georgia, South Central Kentucky, North Alabama, and have embarked on occasional events further from home.   Events primarily consist of hikes, but we do have the occasional non-hiking activities and social events.   We have a pretty active calendar, with …

The most popular site for caching, www.geocaching.com, encourages the posting of events; however, those gatherings are designed to get fellow cachers together to talk about the game/sport/hobby. This meetup group will do that, too, but the main goal is to offer opportunities to "hit the trails" together (although those "trails" might be in an urban area or along roads or highways). If you are new to geocaching, you might visit the home page for www.geocaching.com and explore their "Learn" and "V …

The only requirement is you are female and you ride or want to learn to ride and can respect other women and their rides. I want to create an environment where …
