What we’re about
This group is geared toward adults who would like to meet others in the Carson City and surrounding areas (Tahoe, Incline Village, Reno, Gardnerville, Minden, Sparks, etc.) and as far as the Eastern Sierra & Yosemite to build new friendships and enjoy various activities.
Out-of-Towner’s visiting the area or those who are farther away (Sacramento, Placerville, Fernley, Fallon, etc) are always welcome to join as well.
Here’s a few simple requirements: know your physical abilities/limits, be mature, respectful, and have a good attitude. Most outings are for adults only, but on occasion there may be activities that are kid and/or dog friendly. This will be clearly specified.
Activities include, but are never limited to: outdoor activities: hiking, mountain biking, road biking, kayaking, rock climbing, tennis, running, night life: movies, dinning out, shows, concerts, shooting pool, other activities: cooking, gardening, bowling, ping pong, photography, travel.
The idea is to get outside, meet new people, and do something you enjoy or try something new.
Meetup suggestions are appreciated and always welcome. If you'd like to become an event organizer, let us know!
