Hello, Is there a NTX chapter for the American pioneer corps? If not, I’d like to start one, but I don’t know where to begin. Any advice would be nice. Thank you. |

No one is coming. It's up to us.

There was a fairly active DFW one, but everything fell apart when wuflu hit. It’s probably been a year since we last met. @RandyLahey01 We would do hikes in Flower Mound, Arlington, etc. Mostly around Tarrant Co. |

No. I got with Ben but I know he was really busy at the time I contacted him. Want to get started? I’m down to kick this back up. I know Lug had it going a few times a month before COVID. Feel free to PM me or let’s just post it up in home forum if you want to schedule something. If I’m not busy, I’ll be there. ETA: I have unofficially been going on long walks with a heavy pack for a few months. |

I'd down for posting in HTF. I am actually out towards Greenville, and will be pretty busy till probably the middle end of next month with work. After that should have a lot more free time to get involved more. Where have you been hitting the trails at? I dont get over to the Dallas area very often, and then only if I really have to!

To those who have gone before us. May we earn what they have given.

Let’s do this. North Dallas folks PM for location if interested. Saturday January 7th at 8AM Please keep everything civil and chill. I am sure we will have people of different fitness levels and differing opinions on things. I’m hoping to get people active and get some fresh air. Bring a pack or do not, that’s fine by me. If you are not very fit, don’t bring a backpack, if you need to slow down, bring a heavy pack. Bring water and maybe a power bar. I think we should do a buddy system, paired by speeds, so that way faster people can move on up ahead without leaving a slower person behind. Bring appropriate clothing for outside weather and probably a shoe with a decent sole, this won’t be all pavement. I’ll ask that only arfcom accounts join on this one. Friends of friends is not something I’m wanting to tackle right now. I’m fine with family coming along though. See you there. @Lug1 @belted_guns @H4ppyB34r @SirSqueeboo how’s the ride situation? |

Dropped about 2 grand to make it to my MIL’s funeral, so my car purchase got pushed back to Feb/March.
