You Can Get Anything You Want On the Carolina Mountain Club Website
Excepting Alice

By Stuart English

Get that board out of that old woody station wagon and come surf with me on www.carolinamountainclub.org. Go to the public Home Page and you will see a beautiful mountain vista and our club motto created by former club president and editor of the Let's Go newsletter Gerry McNabb: HIKE, SAVE TRAILS, MAKE FRIENDS!  Then look for a changing slide show of pictures, a short information statement about our purpose, how to join, volunteering, donating, and links to the various committees that make up our club. There is a Breaking News Box, a calendar of events, Awards, and the Youth Partnership Challenge. You can find the current eNews, Let's Go Hike schedules, a link to the CMC Facebook page, and the CMC collection of Interviews - all without logging in.
