REI

The store was everything you'd expect an REI outlet to be. It was fun to walk around with $40 in my pocket trying to decide what to blow it on. In the end I picked up a few more things for upcoming hikes.

Good location for either AVL folks or those of us from the HVL area. Easy access off I-26, plenty of parking, held upstairs in the REI Community Room, so you can browse REI before or after. The organizer (Ching) and the presenter (Eric) were very friendly and accommodating. We never felt rushed or that they wanted to get the meeting over with.
Would certainly recommend this meeting site to other groups.

REI should have had maps and compasses on display in the back of the room so that it would have been very convenient for people to buy them after the class. It's just good marketing!
