Although our mainstay is hiking we've also  been  biking, camping, kayaking, walking and eating with cameras.  Just about anything outdoorsy with camera included.   The trails we choose range from easy to moderately strenuous and almost all include rocks, roots, and elevation changes. On hikes we do the buddy system which allows more opportunities to take pictures as photographers are of a very curious nature and tend to wander off. Cameras are not required but highly recommended. From our exper …

I thought it would be great to create meet up where people with similar interest can share information about trails in WNC area and plan group ride/hike. I want all members to enjoy the ride without feeling pressure to catch up. I remembered riding with guys that I felt like throwing up. If you're a guy but don't have instinct to chase other bunnies/racing/compete, or go way ahead of us, you're more than welcome to join our ride. No matter how skilled/experienced rider you are, I hope we can alw …
