Introduction

If anybody is new to Meetup or nervous about attending trips with new people, many people are friendly and share your desire to enjoy life & nature, and make new friends.

If anyone feels shy or scared, if it would help, the following are our past trips, which show what our trips are like.

Believe it or not, some group members appear to have had a good time.

I deleted all the pics of people who grimaced and looked mad/unhappy. Kidding. ;)

Hi.

This group is intended to be open, inclusive, inviting, welcoming, and community-based.

Ideally, this should feel like it's your group and each member can offer ideas, share suggestions, and plan events.

Some of you are active in other groups (hiking, outdoor activities, etc.).

So you know some groups have one or a few organizers who plan, schedule, and host events.

Well, has anyone ever encountered?:

• you see a hike or other activity you want to join, but it's full (or crowded)

• you see something you want to do, but scheduling doesn't work out, and you can't attend

• you have a great idea for a hike/event, but since yo.....
