Index of Events, Trips & Mbr. Update, Always Updated

Back from The West & Cincinnati. Look forward to FUN times with Laid-Back Chill People. I will be limiting all cross-posting of events unless they are related to the focus of multiple sites. I have a link directing all to the Event Site so I can easily keep track of those RSVP GOING vs going from site to site. Soon I will be posting events on FB and Eventbrite but encourage all to RSVP via the Meetup Groups that I pay to keep going $180.00 per 3 based in California and 3 based in Florida per 6mos. With Trips I as Primary Host/Guide Create I will have a Co-Host/Guide credited $10 pppd x number going on trip less themself. With 12max this would be a $110.00 credit pday as they are my backup and help. Trips are not to get rich but to richly enjoy travel w the most Laid-Back Chill Travelers as we Customize the Experiences and Adventures. All members in Good Standing can create Trips w Varied Cost. My Trips average $150.00 pday which includes total cost Guides/Host, Lodging, Transportation, Meals and Extras.
***Since all Members in may Create Events and Trips my Trips will show me as Host/Guide vs other member created trips.
Thanks ALL, Steve(n) Caliridion!!!:)

***Scroll down for Event Index Past and Upcoming***
Initially I will be posting anticipated dates for events going through the winter 2026. Events with links will follow shortly on a goal of a 3-6week lead time. Always OPEN to Event Ideas to keep things Fresh. I always look for improvements in myself as Host/Guide along with improving events in all regards. Thanks ALL Event Organizers working Hard to Create WOW FUN!!! Thanks ALL members for the courtesy to ALL by showing or editing RSVPs as needed ***SEE Groups ABOUT Section: 3x No-Shows are Removed from GROUPS. Constant No-Show Types should just leave the groups as this is not respectful of others who show. With Kayak/SUPabouts I create I will have us Meetup 45mins. before prompt launch underway time so adjust meetup time as needed to be prepared to be launched and underway on time. With most other events it is 15mins. prior for prompt start time as a courtesy to all and their valuable time. I try to Meet&Greet plus help all as needed. Those late will have to contact me to catch up with the group and the Zello 2Way Walkie Talkie System works the best as during an event I do not have time to stay up with messages. I try my best to have accurate info but do humanly mess up at times. Never forget those creating events including myself do these as FREE Events. I try to have Kayak/SUP and Biking Events where those needing can rent equipment. Many times I will post links to equipment rental companies but is up to those needing equipment to make reservations and rent as needed. I also try to have map pins and location at our meetup location. Please Read all Event Details and stay up with possible event changes via the comments and/or messages I send you. I will be Not Hosting and or Canceling Events that you won't know about unless you check event comments and messages. I have becoming more firm with removing those reaching 3x No-Shows as this is a ridiculous lack of respect and basic courtesy to those who show. I and others try to have events go as described but conditions may cause changes as needed. ***Never forget Event Organizers are unpaid and I believe do their BEST.
Look below for continued updated list w link to all events and trips regardless of Event Organizer since these Groups are ALL of Ours!!!
My hopeful schedule going forward is Oct.-Feb. and May-July. In Florida. The other times of the year is the west U.S.A., California and Trips. I myself as a Creator Host/Guide of Events am staying with the Re-Confirmation Of RSVP Going System via meetup messaging (so please check your messages) while also having most events limited to 12 just as any trips I host/guide. ***When events max out those who do not re-confirm in Good Faith GOING by 48hrs. prior to event are moved to not-going to open spaces to those on the waitlist. *** I am back to cross-posting events I host/guide on other groups I am able to create/post on but will still require a Re-Confirmation of Going. RSVP Going shown will show me + Guest reflecting others RSVP GOING on other Groups/Sites. I am a member of some other Facebook Groups showing a Good amount GOING to events but as Meetup they also may have a too high No-Show rate. I personally Host/Guide Events I find WOW enough that I don’t mind doing on a consistent basis when in Florida and is the same with my events mostly in SoCal. Always on the lookout for FUN WOW New Events to Add. Below are most upcoming events and trips dates. I try to provide options for events as with trips and have most Bikeabouts and Kayak/SUPabouts at locations where people can rent equipment if needed. ***Other WOW events not listed hosted/guided by me when back in Florida Nov.-Feb. will start being created/posted in September/October here w links. ***New Trip INFO on Trips I Host/Guide which are like other Events with Drivers, Guides and Host making a small fee for pulling everything together based on the group and individuals desires. The upcoming Best of SoFlo w Fantasy Fest is still available for a GO if any desire. Please message me or RSVP Going if interested in this trip.(See details below). I am not retired so will be working some part time employment Thu.-Mon. when in Tampa Bay along with volunteering at the VA Hospitals. ***Please Support all the work of our Event Creators working hard at Creating FUN Experiences and Adventures. If any of these GROUP I keep Going can help other groups Grow Their Attendees by Crossposting let them know they can message me as I am always looking to help.
