A visit to Antarctica with David Cottingham


Most reasonable people who have just had enough of winter head south, maybe Florida, Caribbean, etc. Some maybe over do it. Take our esteemed former Chairman, Cotton. He just kept going until he reached Antarctica. Well, what he did and saw there was just amazing, and we are fortunate that he will share his experiences this evening. Yes, you’ve heard it before: Don’t miss it. Showtime, as usual, 7:00 pm.

As usual, this is a virtual show, so register now, while slots are available.

Back to Chile with Mac Thornton

Let’s go south again, but this time to Chile. Back in 1993, Mac Thornton and a handful of his restless CCA buddies, flew south to test themselves against the formidable whitewater of this spectacular land. Find out how it all turned out as golden-tongued Mac reminisces. Yes, you’ve heard it before: Don’t miss it.

As usual, this is a virtual show, so register now, while slots are available.

Call for future programs

We are always looking for new talent. We are always looking for ideas. If you take pictures or videos and would like to share them, do not be shy. It can be distant locales or you local favorites. If you have a talent to share, then teach us. If you want to share an alternate outdoor sport (like hiking, backpacking, caving) we would enjoy that too. The program chair would like to hear from you (e_gertler@yahoo.com, 301-585-4381). I eagerly await.
