What we’re about
Love nature and out-of-the-way places? Tired of three day weekends sitting at home? Are your friends sick of you trying to talk them into last minute road trips with you?
You've come to the right place!
We DMV Weekend Road Trippers are men and women with a passion for exploration and sightseeing. We are lovers of remote landmarks and overlooked treasures. We're here to see all the natural landmarks and historic sites we can find, anywhere in a weekend travel radius around the DMV area. Most importantly, we're all about sharing the travel experience with each other, making new friends, and chilling together after a long weekend adventure.
Events posted here will be short 1-3 day trips from the coastal DMV to anywhere we can get to and enjoy in that time frame. Some events may require external booking or charges, depending on what we're doing, but the group will never charge for an event; this group is not a business, and where possible the goal will be to do things cheap and enjoy things money can't buy. This group is meant to be accessible to people who want to meet new people and explore new places without spending crazy amounts of time or money. Carpooling can be organized among members where possible to help make event even more accessible.
Most road trips will be planned around natural landmarks or wilderness activities, such as camping, backpacking, hiking, kayaking, etc., though some may not be. New road trip tips and ideas are always appreciated. Exploration is a team sport!
As with many groups of this nature, there is potentially an element of risk inherently involved in physical activities. While we will always do our best to look out for each other, each participant is ultimately responsible for their own comfort and safety, understanding their own physical limitations, and assuming any risks that might be inherent in any group activities.
