Comaraderie at Counter Culture
Tuesday September 11, 2018 6-9PM
Join us at Counter Culture for a night of comaraderie with those interested in a plant-based diet for health, the environment, animal and human welfare, any reason really. The is another event in ATX Alive hosted series to highlight local restaurants that have healthy whole food plant based oil-free options on their menu clearly marked. It makes life so much easier when trying to get a healthy meal.
For this event the restaurant is putting a few extra oil-free items not normally found on the menu with seasonal produce. As the time gets closer we'll announce what those items are through the ATX Alive Facebook page.
Because we are such a large group there will be a 20% gratuity added to all checks and checks can be done individually. We'll have full run of their outdoor seating area for the duration of the event. I hope to see everyone there!
*There will be gluten-free options available.

Hike Turkey Creek Trail
September 22, 2018 9AM-12PM
It's our first hike of the Fall season and we can enjoy this one with our four-legged friends.
Turkey Creek is a lovely easy- to medium-level hike. There are a couple spots where it's modestly steep but mostly the trail is level and easy to hike.
This is an off-leash trail for dogs so bring yours if they're reliable off leash and are friendly with other dogs.
THINGS TO KNOW: The trail is a 2.8 mile loop, The moderately used trail lies in the city's Emma Long Park. It sees a lot of use during the weekend and parking can be challenging by 9 a.m. so please allow a little extra time to find a suitable parking space.
In the unlikely event we've had large amounts of recent rainfall, expect water in the dry bed creek and mud on the trail.
Wear comfortable hiking shoes, bring water, carry a hiking stick if you find one useful, and expect to make new friends of the two- and four-legged variety!

Hike Violet Crown Trail & Eat Lunch
Friday October 5, 9:30AM-2:30PM
Over hill, over dale, we're hiking the lovely Violet Crown trail. Afterward we'll satisfy our hearty appetites with fresh, delicious oil-free whole plant foods!
The hike starts at the trail entrace at US 290 and Brodie Lane. Please note this hike starts at 9:30 a.m. (not the previously announced time of 9:00).
Park in the Spec's Liquor parking lot and then walk a short distance east along the access road to the trail access point.
Note that the currently opened portion of the trail has an uneven, rocky surface and at times has steep slopes and sharp curves. It is not advisable for strollers.
The trail is moderately difficult and there are a couple sections where good balance is a plus, particularly in a spot where it traverses a narrow passage along a rock wall (there is a hand hold). Hikers should be in moderately good physical condition.
We'll be hiking approximately 7 miles so wear comfortable shoes and socks. There is NO DRINKING WATER along the trail so bring plenty of water. Wear a hat if the weather is sunny.
WHAT TO BRING: Water, cash for the bus fare ($1.25, exact change) and money for lunch.
Here's a good overview of the trail and what to expect:https://austinot.com/violet-crown-trail-austin
