I love FARTing in the mountains here with my fellow hikers! Can’t wait for the next event!
Yes we agree! Nothing finer than being a F.A.R.T. in Carolina!
F. A. R. T. SAVED MY LIFE.
Awesome story!! Good luck keeping your license plate.
Thanks!
Thank you for the information on some great hiking spots around Asheville. I have family over that way and as a local to the Raleigh area your recs have helped me identify some new trails to explore! Thanks again! 🙂
Glad to help! Thank you for being a F.A.R.T.
Nothing makes me feel better than a FART meeting, even if it’s wet. I’ll be FARTing for life!
We feel the same way! F.A.R.T. for life!
I’m sorry that we missed the gathering! My son, who is a future FARTer if there ever was one, had theater class. Next time! Thank you for keeping FART viable for the next generation!
I wish FART could waft to the eastern side of the state. Would love to have a hiking group as amazing as FART by me. Keep Calm and FART On!
Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to get out on the F. A.R.T. trails this spring
Wouldn’t that then become Friends of Eastern Caroline Ecological System (FECES)?
Indeed it would
Always a great time!!!! F.A.R.T. for life!
I’ve been a FARTer since it’s inception. Because of this amazing group, I’ve met a lot of FART partners.
As a fellow hiker, I’ve always found that, no matter what, I ALWAYS trust a F.A.R.T. They have the best recommendations for trails to explore, and I’ve never been let down by a F.A.R.T.
Being a F.A.R.T makes me a proud Carolinian. Being able to explore the Ashville area while also supporting the trail systems gives me something to look forward to when I’m out west hiking. Glad I found this group!
FARTs help keep the trails well traveled. Always a fun time to go hiking with the FARTs!
We found get hiking places through FART, my partner and dogs (which are boxers) are proud FARTers of the hiking trails. THANKS GUYS for everything?
Im proud to be apart of a state with such beautiful recreational trails.
I love FART Asheville idea.
FART is such a gift to our family.
Thank you for this amazing group. I have spent many a wonderful day hiking in your beautiful state. I find that cities with recreational trail organizations like yours provide the best experience.
F. A. R. T. SAVED MY LIFE.
I traveled from Ohio for a trip to Asheville. A local F.A.R.T. member helped me find some amazing trails away from the crowds. Thanks again!
So glad we have an incredible local organization like FART!!
I recently visited a friend in North Carolina, and found out he’s an avid FARTer. I was delighted to hike the trails with him and our two other friends. We met some other FARTers on the trails and boy they were a gas. I guess what I learned is the real treasure is the FARTs we made along the way.
Who doesn’t love a good FART to relieve some pressure in this hectic life? Thanks to FARTing, I get to FART with all of my family in the trails of Asheville now. Great work guys.
I proposed to my wife on a trail in Asheville. It was beautiful, cleaned and well-maintained. It’s a memory I’ll cherish forever. My wife and I became F.A.R.T.s that day and we’ve been F.A.R.T.s ever since
My favorite FART is the Catawba River Greenway. https://www.traillink.com/trail/catawba-river-greenway/
Check it out!
I thoroughly enjoy wandering through Western NC! So many beautiful flowers and trees. I love the scent of blooming Apple, Crape Myrtle, and my favorite Silk Mimosa trees. I am a proud FART smeller!
I love F.A.R.T! All my friends love FART! And this organization has filled a hole in my life. We heart to F.A.R.T!!!
We appreciate FART most while hiking on a warm breezy day.
Nothing’s better than spending some quality time FARTing outdoors!
Good luck on your case!
I don’t get out to Asheville enough. How can I help you guys, FART?
I’m gonna have to remember to take some paper with me next hike to show some FART support! This cause rules!
We can’t wait to get back out on the trails and meet more fellow FARTers!
I love the NC mountain trails. The sights and especially the smells of nature in all her bounty! Thank you F.A.R.T. for all you do to keep North Carolina beautiful!
I am a F.A.R.T. My wife is a F.A.R.T. My children are F.A.R.T’s. In a time of civil unrest and global pandemics we must all become F.A.R.T’s.
F.A.R.T’s are free to float around the great state of North Carolina. We are forcefully breaking through the cracks of a society that have hidden us away for to long.
In the past F.A.R.T’s have been regarded as dirty. Aimlessly wandering muddy tracks carved through the cracks of North Carolina. We must wipe away the filthy remnants of past F.A.R.T’s.
Today we find F.A.R.T’s of all colors, from all backgrounds, proudly making themselves known publicly and without embarrassment.
It is high time that previously silent F.A.R.T’s rise up and with one voice in a rumble of glory proclaim “F.A.R.T’s shall be heard”.
I do not want to be part of a world with out F.A.R.T’s. If you want a better North Carolina, nay, If you want a better America, F.A.R.T’s are the answer.
As senior citizens, we’re so happy to find a hiking group that wasn’t beyond our abilities to keep up with the rest of the group. My wife says I’m qualified to lead F.A.R.T. hikes now.
Proud member of the FART community… you guys have a great day!!
As a retired senior citizen, I’m looking forward to spending time with other old F.A.R.T.s.
You’ve got FARTs from Winston-Salem!! ❤❤
Considering your tag has a beautiful black bear on it, one must ponder the question, do bears FART in the woods? I love your tag. As a colon cancer survivor, I think it’s awesome. The bad stigma of natural things is what embarrasses people to the point they sometimes forgo life saving procedures. That ole party pooper can just shut the bathroom door.
I had so much fun at the hike the other day!! F.A.R.T. Squad for life!!!
While I live in Hickory I frequently hike on the Mountain to Sea Trail around Asheville as well as other great trails in those beautiful mountains – GO FART!!!
No ifs, ands or butts about it: FART is an NC treasure
I married into a family known for their dedication to F.A.R.T. At first, I felt like an outsider, but this organization has made me realize I have a home at F.A.R.T.
Best organization!! I enjoy FART – it’s good for everyone
Someone needs to create a sister organization: Friends of Awesome Recreation Trails so that the FARTS can waft around the world. I smell a global movement about to be released!
Do you have bumper stickers? I would love to give some as gifts!
They are in the works! Some talented local individuals have sent in amazing logos! We will give them out at our next F.A.R.T. hike. We will update the site, email list, and twitter when they’re available. Thanks for being a F.A.R.T.
I like to swim and go on trails. Does that make me a wet fart?
Love coming to the mountains in Oct when the leaves changes.Camping and eating Tacos around the campfire.Sounds fishy but we live near the coast and have the best seafood to take and make fish or shrimp Tacos.
This organization Is a real GAS!
When is the next Fart Fest?!!
We couldn’t hold it in any longer… F.A.R.T. is the best!
I’m from Connecticut and live in Portland but, I am a FART and no one I know would disagree with me. 🙂
We also FART well over in East Tn.
Hi! Just saw your segment on Jimmy Kimmel. Love it. I’m in Dallas, Texas, and as one would imagine, we’re very familiar with F.A.R.T. philosophy and methodology. Our rapid transit system is named DART (close huh?) I’d love to make it up that way and experience F.A.R.T.ing in your area! Can I join? I think you’re on the verge of a nationwide movement! Bill
