What has 1,700 legs and a keen interest in local natural areas? The Nashville Hiking Meetup, currently the largest local group on Meetup.com with more than 850 members, is a hiking and eco-volunteer group that plans hikes throughout the year ranging from easy to strenuous and local to regional. The aim of the group is to explore the natural beauty of Tennessee and beyond and to develop a social network for people with similiar interests.

NHM’s next adventure is tonight (July 8) at 5:45 p.m. at Radnor Lake State Natural Area. The planned hike is described as easy to moderate, and it’s expected to take about two hours. More than 45 members are planning to attend, so you can probably blend in safely if you’re a little on the shy side.

If you’re curious about Radnor Lake, check out the Friends of Radnor Lake Web site or local hiking blogger Stephen at Hiking Nature. Stephen has logged multiple entries of late about hikes at Radnor Lake, including a recent raccoon sighting (photo above).

Poison is bringing its glam rock revival tour to the Sommet Center tonight, but that isn’t your only chance to see members of the band. Lead singer Bret Michaels (above) and lead guitarist (and aspiring heir to Keith Richards’ path to destruction) C.C. DeVille will be holding after parties on opposite sides of the Cumberland. Michaels will camp out at Limelight on Woodland Street in East Nashville, andDeVille will stake out Fuel on Second Avenue. If you’re a fan, tonight promises to be “Nothin But a Good Time”wherever you may wind up
