Charit Creek Lodge is in the Big South Fork Recreation Area near Oneida, Tennessee, about 4 hours from Columbia.  They have rustic, hike-in lodges with real beds and kitchen access.  Hiking in this area is beautiful.  Payment is due February 1 so you'd better move fast if you want to go.  Click the link for more details.

Things Are Gonna Change!
We teased it in December, now we're going to tell you what's going to be happening.  We are in the process of merging our databases with Charlotte Outdoor Adventures (CHOA).  This will give us access to their events and they'll have access to ours.  Some of their upcoming events include:

Hiking and Camping Mt. Guyot                                Club Med ski trip - Crested Butte CO

Mt Michel backpacking trip                                       Bridal Veil Waterfall Hike

Western Caribbean Cruise                                      Mountain Bike the TSALI
 

We're at the point where the official announcement could happen any day.  We just need to work out the bugs in the system.  Our calendar typically has 10-20 events per month.  When the merger happens, our calendar will have more than 50 events every month.  There will definitely be something for everybody.  Keep your eyes open, cause when it happens it will only reinforce what we've been saying since 2002: We are Columbia's most active outdoors club!
