Hello all you beautiful people!! Thank you to everyone who attended our FINAL meeting of the year! Sorry for the lackluster mention of it, but we kind of realized we do not need to meet again as our signups for our last official trip were held tonight. We will be holding our club info session shortly, probably on 11/15 somewhere indoors, but that is still TBD and more information will be sent out regarding it, so sit tight! At tonight's meeting we discussed our upcoming trip THIS weekend to Cherry Springs, if you are on that trip you received an email telling you all you need to know about it and were also probably at tonight's meeting for any other info we wanted to give you. We also held signups for McConnell's Mill which is a joint climbing and hiking trip coming up in two weekends (11/12) if you are stoked about either outdoor climbing or some light/medium hiking, please sign up here:  https://forms.gle/v1Vpedoq6khtGVNw7 That just about does it for me, please check the ...

Hello all you beautiful people! Thank you to everyone who showed up tonight, we do appreciate all your support and are super psyched that we don't have to yell at an empty patio space! Tonight was short and sweet, reviewing that we had a little trip to Soergels that was a little hectic thanks to Kira getting wrecked by illness, but it sounded like those who were able to go had a really nice time! Second we held signups for Cherry Springs! Cherry Springs is off in the North middle of PA, and the darkest place in the state making it the perfect place for stargazing! I even hear that we have some rumors of meteor showers??? But I literally overheard those two words so I have no clue if that's actually accurate. But it should be a lovely trip out in cabins for warmth! Because of the cabins, we have limited spaces on the trip. That being said, if you have gear that can handle COLD weather, there's a spot on the form to indicate as such. Signup here!: https://forms.gle/MH44j1ivVx...

Hello all you gorgeous outdoorsy folks! It is that time of the week again, I will be summarizing this past meeting for all those who couldn't attend or for those who simply have a really poor memory. The first item on our meeting's agenda was recapping our trip to the beautiful New River Gorge in West Virginia. The trees were bursting with fall colors, the temperatures were only desperately cold at night and the rain we expected to dampen (hehe, literally) the end of our trip did not show!! All in all, a raving success that we were really stoked came together so well. Secondly, we covered Raccoon Creek, a backpacking trip occuring THIS WEEKEND. Signups have been closed and the roster set, so you know if you're going on this. But yeah! We distributed gear and stoked the embers of excitement in the members who are sure to have a lovely time this weekend! Thirdly, we held signups for the much anticipated, and very fall-themed trip to Soergels! Kira's organizing a little gr...

Hello all you beautiful people!! Apologies for the delay of this information, still working on sleeping after a long weekend! Just a few notes for this upcoming meeting tonight at 9pm on the WPU patio facing Cathy! First we will be reviewing our trip to the NRG, was super fun, super sendy and a little chilly, but oh so stunning. We also have TWO trips this weekend - Raccoon Creek has a set roster for backpacking this Saturday/Sunday. If you are on this roster (and have not communicated to me that you can't come) you must  attend tonight's meeting. We will also have SIGN-UPS for our day trip to Soergels tonight!! Kira will be organizing a little group of any interested parties to head over to the nearby apple orchard/pumpkin patch for some fun fall activities this Saturday!! Lastly, we ask that you keep alert and patient with us as we work to get our officer info session together to provide you guys with more information about how the club works especially for those of you who a...

Hello beautiful people!! We had a lovely meeting tonight covering many topics!! Raystown and Laurel Highlands were successes!! Many a good time were had and I'm told no one was injured on Raystown which is an improvement on last year  @MishaBarth. We also met with the folks heading on the NRG trip this weekend and furthered plans there. The big part of this past meeting was our signups for Raccoon Creek and Dolly Sods! You are reading that right, we're trying to do Dolly Sods take two! Based on the interest in these two trips/the weather we will either have Raccoon Creek or both trips. Raccoon Creek is here:  https://forms.gle/c77eVFjPUS5zk7p8A Dolly Sods here:  https://forms.gle/7RfaXFkF2bUoByBH9 Hope that covers all our bases!! If you have any questions, check the FAQ:  https://outdoorsclubpitt.blogspot.com/p/faq-2.html Anything beyond, email me!! Your Secretary who is outdoors hey can you let me in it's getting cold, Aidan

Hello beautiful people!! Apologies for the delay on this email, I know I often send them out Monday night, but by the time I remembered last night, I figured it would pretty much be the same as sending it out this morning! Alas, we don't have too too much to discuss this coming meeting, but we do have a few notes!! First up, we have a brief little recap of our Raystown mountain biking trip as well as a  recap for our Laurel Highlands trip!! From what I've heard they were roaring successes, but I personally can't wait to hear more from our respective chairs about the trips! Next, we have sent out the roster for the New!! If you did not get an email regarding you being on our trip to the NRG, you unfortunately did not get on the trip. For those who DID get on the email, it is imperative that you attend tonight's meeting in order to get more information about the trip, collect gear, and meet your cars. If you are on the trip and cannot make it tonight email me to work some...
