Hey James! Sorry for the late reply. I just now saw your message! I was traveling in India over the winter and guess I wasn't up on all the meet up stuff. I'm hoping to come to an event soon. I'm an "art-show-artist" and have been dealing with hectic show schedules the past month but after next weekend I'm free for a bit and really will join you guys. Looking forward to it. Thanks for your kind note :)

Welcome! I look forward to meeting you on Sunday.

Welcome to the Chattanooga Hiking Meetup, James! Looking forward to the rave reviews about the Cohuttas, and getting out there myself sometime to check it out with you guys. You're going to love the folks from the Chattanooga Hiking Meetup. Great bunch of people!!! Of course, I know that you already know several, so I'm sure that you agree.

Thanks James...yes I did make it. I asked for someone to just shoot me the last mile or so but I am glad they didnt! I feel like it was a big accomplishment and I am so glad I did it and not nearly as sore as I thought I would be. It was a pleasure meeting you and all the nice, encouraging people on the hike. I will be back for some more hiking!

It was great meeting you and your wife on the hike today. Y'all are really super nice people. Thanks for sharing the mozzarella sticks, too. Hope to see you guys again.

Thanks, James! Ken and I are looking forward to the trip. I can never get enough of backpacking, and I'll get to meet you finally. :)

I got very busy and lost touch. Also the emails were not coming through so that didn't help. We are going to try to get active again as things have slowed down a whole lot. Thanks for checking in with me and Christy and I will be talking to you.

Thanks James! Yes I'm looking forward to going on some of the day hikes this winter. I love to camp but mostly do that in warmer weather..the cold and I are not friends:( but I'll be in on that come spring and summer!

Thanks James! I'm looking forward to several trips with this group. The camping trip in Feb sounds great, I hope we have snow. ;)

Thanks James. I am looking forward to the Sunday hike. It will be my first meet up with this group. See you soon!
