Charlotte Backpackers; It's a lifestyle!
The purpose of the Charlotte Backpacker's Meetup is to provide intermediate and advanced level outdoors people with an opportunity to meet and plan experiences with like-minded individuals. Not everyone is eligible. It is an invitation only meet-up.
It's not all about your pace. Heavens knows
the only time I see my friends while on a trip is in camp because we all walk at a different pace but I know they WILL be at camp. Does that mean less experienced backpackers won't cut it...? Not necessarily. A group always needs to be on the look-out for new leaders. And it's not just about backpacking. We have people interested in climbing, mountain and road biking, kayaking, etc..
There is a $5.00/year fee per family to be a
member in order to cover the cost of the site payable via PayPal. You can join and check things out for 30 days before you send money. If at any time during the year you are unhappy with the site, let me know and I'll refund the money, no questions asked.
Admittance is simple; fill out the profile, supply a photo and shortly thereafter you will receive an e-mail with an invitation...and you're in!
Thanks;
Jim
Details are evolving, but this is a short distance in and out to a truly gorgeous river. We will be camping close to Ellicott Rock (Google it), entering Burrell's Ford Road Campground off HWY 107 near Oconee State Park SC. The Chattooga River is paralleled by the Foothills Trail.
My guest, Mike and I will be primarily trout fishing, however we will be in there 2 days so I'm sure we can work in a day hike to explore the area. Read more
“ see pics of view from the top of mountain, it will explain it all ”
“ There were a few people from the Bergs a few from the Charlotte Backpackers, it was a good mix. ”
You'll get invited to our Meetups as soon as they're scheduled!
