After weaving our way through the vast expanse of our host venue Paragon Sports in the center of Manhattan we arrived in the shoe department now converted into Mappy Hour basecamp. Even though it was late fall, the night was about hiking around NYC (through the winter too!) and we had a bunch of guests to make sure that happens.
After opening the keg and making name tags, Michele from Paragon welcomed the group with an awesome discount (gift shopping anyone?!) and details on upcoming Paragon events. Then we heard from Mappy Hour NYC Chapter lead Sharon about the night’s awesome #MappyHour instagram contest with an amazing prize of handcrafted Lowa boots. After everyone had been sufficiently welcomed, we split up into adventure corners including:
Where to adventure in the Catskills with Destination Backcountry Adventures:
Exploring the Dacks with Louise of Outward Bound:
& hiking Harriman State Park with the Appalachian Mountain Club
More beer, more maps, more fun. Thanks all who joined and huge thanks to Lowa Boots and Paragon for making this Mappy Hour happen!
Ready for next month?
