    Exclamation Fifth Annual WhiteBlaze Nashville Winter Dinner - Saturday, February 26, 2011

    Fifth Annual WhiteBlaze Nashville Winter Dinner
    Saturday, February 26, 2011

    Here's the itinerary (you are welcome to any or all of the activities; the main activity is the dinner gathering):

    8:00 a.m. - It is the last Saturday of the month, so it's REI Volunteer Day at Radnor Lake State Natural Area, from 8:00 to Noon. Anyone interested in volunteering for trail maintenance?
    Friends of Radnor Lake

    2:00 - a hike at Radnor Lake SNA to see the new and rebuilt South Cove Trail, parts of which were wiped out by the May storm that caused the Nashville flood. Details to be announced.

    5:00 - THE MAIN EVENT: Dinner at Ruby Tuesday next door to REI in Brentwood. RSVPs are very helpful, so I can tell Ruby Tuesday how many to expect.

    7:00 - Presentation next door at REI by Rob Connor on his 2010 thru-hike of the AT.

    Questions? Volunteers? Complaints? Anyone needing a place to stay? Anyone offering a place to stay for out-of-towners?

    If you need to MapQuest a map or directions to the REI, here is the address (and phone number) (Ruby Tuesday is next door)--
    261 Franklin Road
    Brentwood, TN 37027
    (615) 376-4248

    Check this thread for changes and updates, which I'll post if necessary.

    I'm looking forward to seeing whoever is able to attend. Nothing like getting together for good food and yakking with fellow AT hikers. Well, except for hiking!

    I'll be in town teaching a workshop at Belmont. It'll go until 5:30 or 6 so I'll miss most of the event, but I'll try to catch you all at either Ruby Tuesday or REI before we head back to Chattanooga.
    If people spent less time being offended and more time actually living, we'd all be a whole lot happier!

    I'll be there. The one talking too much about the trail. Maybe for once that'll be appreciated! Let Rain Man or myself know if there are any specific aspects of the trail/thru-hiking that you'd like me to try to work in to my chat.

    If my second cataract surgery goes as well as the first one is, I will be able to be there. Second is scheduled for the 17th. to

    You know that I've always wanted to go to one of these things, and who knows (?) I may still need a couple of items from REI by then. Yep, I want to be there. Sign me up for the talk and the dinner. (I'll be driving all day Saturday.) And, if you know, give me a list of at least "2-star" motels close by in case I can't camp out.--Kinnickinic

    Default The Fat Man Cometh

    Seems like when I am on the AT, I always wind up hiking with folks from Tennessee. Tractor, Stix, Cody..... Guess it is a cultural/language thing.....Just seems like the thing to do is come to Nashville and meet some more of you. And, sneak in a visit with my daughter and S-I-L while I am at it. Don't know if I will make the day's activities but, will for sure be at the dinner.

    My wife says she wonders if this will be like an AA meeting???? "My Name is Fat Man and I'm a Section Hiker." Hi Fat Man!!!!

    In all seriousness, looking forward to making new friends.
