Hikin' Augusta

I just moved to Augusta, Georgia and have been looking for activities to get out 'n about and meet folks. I found a Hiking group on Meetup.com and went on my first hike this weekend. It's a bit less intimidating to head out with six people down a trail rather than try it alone and feel like a target for crackheads looking to roll a few buck out of ya. So, I ended up having a great time on the hike...beautiful views and will certainly head back on this local canal trail again. Afterwards the group invited me to a social get-together that evening...lotta fun people, had a great time!

A few weeks ago I had another get-together with the local Geocaching group...of course it involved a buffet at Ryans, so ya know I didn't pass that up! Lots of local cachers and the group is just getting organzied, they have monthly activities...so seems like another active group for me to dive into.

So, in less than two months I've joined two groups, met my neighbors and have met more new friends in this short time than I did in 1 1/2 years in Fayetteville. Just seems to be more things going on here in Augusta....so far, I'm likin' it, so lets hope the job 'n contract work out so I can stay.
