What we’re about
If you love to walk and meet people outside of the usual places, this group is for you. It's open to everyone of all ages. (It's not a hiking group -- we won't be climbing anything -- though hikers are welcome.) 😊
We'll visit some of the best spots, including safe trails, in Kennebec and Somerset counties. If the group grows, we can schedule visits farther away.
• Walks will average 2-4 miles.
• Lunch or dinner (including takeout, picnics, etc.) or visiting a nearby local event is an option after the walk.
• Meetings will last a few hours and take place mostly on weekends and occasional weekdays, like Fridays, at least twice a month.
It's a chance to get out more and meet new people while you enjoy a favorite pastime.
Thanks, and I look forward to meeting you and walking with you sometime.
Event cancellations/rescheduling: If there will be a major wind or rainstorm or it will be hot and humid without a breeze (80 degrees Fahrenheit or above), the event will be cancelled and rescheduled. I'll try to give at least 48 hours' notice.

Auburn Mall Walk / Holiday Shopping
Auburn Mall, 550 Center Street, Auburn, ME, USIf you like old buildings and remember when malls were popular, you might consider this location an example of living history.
This fourth-largest mall in Maine, which opened in 1979, is well-kept yet maintains an authentic retro look and feel throughout.
As pictured, it houses popular stores like J.C. Penney, Spencer's, and Bath & Body Works. And there's an arcade/family eatery and a few more dining spots: Thatcher's (a pub/restaurant) and Nutty Netties Cafe. An empty shop space features a large motorcycle collection and other curiosities, reportedly placed there by the mall's owner.
The mall also isn't too busy on a Sunday during the holidays; the decor adds to the festive feel. It offers lots of room for a small group to walk. You can also take the chance to do some holiday shopping or even donate a toy.
The mall is also centrally located, near a Goodwill, Panera Bread, Shaw's, and other major retailers. If we're up to it, we can stop for lunch at the mall or nearby.
Where we'll meet: At the main entrance next to J.C. Penney, where the largest "Auburn Mall" sign hangs above a series of doors, close to Family Time -- NOT the entrances next to Thatcher's or Super Shoes.3 attendees
