Edition 1

Hello!

I am Daniel Paul, and this is the very first edition of the Alumni Newsletter, YIPPEE! These newsletters are intended to keep POC alumni updated with the doings of the club. They may include trip recaps, connection opportunities, meet a member, and much much more!

Labor Day Recaps

Red River Gorge

This past weekend, we took out a women's and nonbinary backpacking trip to Red River Gorge! For many people, it was their first backpack, and for one person, it was when they learned that backpacking and car camping are different 😳 We hiked, told stories, gossiped, and made lots of new friends :)

Manistee Lake

Over Labor Day weekend, we went to Manistee Lake for a canoe trip. The trip went super well. The river and campsites were beautiful, and we saw a bunch of wildlife! A couple of bald eagles, swans, and even some baby raccoons. We also did a little portaging and swimming!

Other Recaps

Morgon Monroe

A number of beginner backpackers took on the Low Gap trail in Morgon Monroe State Forest, saw a beautiful natural rock shelter, consumed the fabled PB&Chee, and (allegedly) went on a 2-hour adventure on potentially private property for water.
