What we’re about
This group's purpose is community through shared experiences. Hopefully, friendships are a byproduct as well. There will be a variety of events and some of them will be hard while others will be easy; but with a positive perspective, they can all be good.
Experiences may include but aren't limited to: hiking, swimming, coffee, backpacking, eating & drinking, movies, walks, caving, running, great talks, great views, shitty weather, beautiful weather, everything going to plan, nothing going to plan, and much that lies between.
I use the following scale for difficulty. From easiest to hardest they are:
-Picnic
-Walk in the park
-Hike
-Challenge
-Grueling
-Grim
-Death march
A favorite quote:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
