Outdoors Club at Pitt

Hey folks, Tonight we had sign ups for the New River Gorge trip going out April 6-8.  It's going to be awesome and you should try to come if you can! Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdMnOUCuXwIJQZRUXkmpMd9LgvoDsOwD19O7nribCt38DoVtQ/viewform?usp=sf_link We made it to the next week in the Pitt News' bracket!  We're up against the Women's Ultimate Team this week so we've got to pull out all the stops to get those sweet sweet sandwiches.  Go to pittnews.com and vote, not just because it'll get you free food, but also because it's been scientifically proven that eating food you didn't pay for makes you climb like three grades harder. Also, some folks from the Sierra Club are working on a Clean Rivers Campaign here in Pittsburgh that aims to do something about the city's sewers.  Pittsburgh has this awesome sewer system that combines stormwater and sewage management.  That means that every time it rains for more than like 15 ...

Hey folks, We're meeting in G24 Cathy tonight at 9pm, it's going to be great times and everyone should come through.   Sign ups for the New River Gorge trip will be tonight.  This trip is super swanky, with some world class climbing, hiking, mountain biking, caving, and white water.  More than that though, right across the bridge from where we'll be staying there is a magical place full of happiness and carbs called Biscuit World, and going down to the New affords us the chance to bask in its wonderful artery-clogging light.   Speaking of food, we beat the Oakland Zoo and made it to the next round of the Pitt News' student org. bracket!  We're one week closer to free lunch!  This week we're up against the Women's Ultimate team, so everyone should head to pittnews.com and vote for us.  It's food folks, everyone needs it, paying for it is lame, and stealing it is kinda illegal, but voting for it is always a good idea.  Best, Jon

Hey folks, Sorry for the double email, but I forgot to say we're cooler than the Pitt band. We beat them in the Pitt News' March Madness bracket thing last week! This week we're going against the Oakland Zoo, so go to pittnews.com and vote to bring us one step closer to free food and happiness.  Best, Jon

Hey folks,   We're meeting in G24 Cathy at 9pm tomorrow, March 21.   T-shirts are in, so if you ordered one bring $15 and be sure to emotionally prepare yourself to be the most fashionable son/daughter of a gun on campus. Sign ups for Ohiopyle will be tonight, the trip is March 30 to April 1 so bust out your bunny ears and unleavened bread because you'll be Passover and Easter in the woods with all the coolest kids at Pitt.  There will be all kinds of psych stoking stuff to do on this trip, including whitewater rafting, climbing, and all that sweet sweet hiking.  Hope everyone's having a bearable Monday! Best, Jon
