Las Vegas Climbing and Paddling Weekend Adventure

Las Vegas Climbing and Paddling Weekend Adventure

Thu, Oct 29, 2:00 PM
From Explorer Chicks of San Francisco
4.8

This isn’t your typical girls-only Vegas weekend trip. This is a Women’s Las Vegas Vacation Weekend Adventure, Explorer Chick style! (That means packing your sequins and sports bras!) After a few nights on the strip, enjoy rock climbing, kayaking and overnight camping in Black Canyon. Experience both the glamour and true grit of Las Vegas, Nevada in its surrounding desert landscape with other adventurous women. From a 4-star hotel to a billion-star sky, experience the full scope of glam and grit in WILD Las Vegas. Your vacation begins at a high-end Downtown Las Vegas Hotel and Casino where you’ll enjoy all the food, drink, chip-tossing, and people-watching Fremont Street has to offer. We’ll build in time to escape the crowds to spend a full day rock climbing and exploring the vertical sandstone walls of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. So long, Las Vegas! Kayak adventure, here we come! On day three, we’ll dry bag our belongings (peace out, heels ✌) as we prepare for a camping overnight along the Lower Colorado River. Your 12-mile paddling journey launches at the base of Hoover Dam through the Black Canyon on the Lower Colorado River. That’s right: We’ll gain special access to launch kayaks below the towering Hoover Damn. Talk about feeling small! The water will be moving and flat; a peaceful pace for anyone who might have overindulged the night prior and perfect for a relaxing trip. Along the way, we’ll make frequent stops to areas accessible only by boat—natural hot springs, slot canyons, a natural sauna, Emerald Cave with gorgeous green water, historical sites, even ruins! We’ll spend our final night resting up camped out on the shore, snort-laughing under the stars. This adventure is for women who love to experience multiple adventures, don’t mind trading their bed for a warm sleeping bag, and who can trade room service for rock climbing without a second thought. This Vegas Vacation is the best of both worlds: city life and outdoor adventure! See the website for full details and to book.

Shenandoah Hiking, Winery, And Sunsets Weekend

Shenandoah Hiking, Winery, And Sunsets Weekend

Fri, Oct 30, 2:00 PM
From Explorer Chicks of San Francisco
4.8

**Summits And Sips** Imagine finally treating yourself to a girls’ weekend. Only instead of sitting on someone’s living room floor fielding texts from your partner (“WHERE IS MY PRESCRIPTION NASAL SPRAY”) you’re hiking the Appalachian Trail. Eating picnics you didn’t have to pack. And tossing back Virginia wine with women who make you laugh until a you pee a little. Trade the daily hustle for mountain magic with the ultimate long weekend hiking in Shenandoah National Park. This is a more laid-back hiking adventure––active without being hardcore. We’ll explore sections of the Appalachian Trail by day, including Mary’s Rock, Whiteoak Canyon, and Hawksbill Mountain. And we’ll savor golden sunset hikes to Bearfence and Stony Man before our evening PJ parties. Our SHE-nanigan Shuttle will be conveniently parked to save us from sweary uphill climbs, whisking us away to our trailheads, an afternoon wine tasting, and our picturesque lodges with local, chef-made meals. This much beauty and sisterhood in one long weekend will feel illegal. But we promise the park rangers won’t kick us out. **See the website for full itinerary, details and to book.** [https://explorerchick.com/trip/womens-shenandoah-hiking-winery-and-sunsets-weekend/](https://explorerchick.com/trip/womens-shenandoah-hiking-winery-and-sunsets-weekend/) **Say Hello 👋** **💻** Website: [https://explorerchick.com/](https://explorerchick.com/) 📧 Email: [hello@explorerchick.com](http://hello@explorerchick.com/) 📸 Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/explorerchickadventureco/](https://www.instagram.com/explorerchickadventureco/) ❤️ Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/ExplorerChickAdventureCo/](https://www.facebook.com/ExplorerChickAdventureCo/) 👯‍♀️ Facebook Group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareexplorerchick](https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareexplorerchick) 🎥 TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@explorerchick](https://www.tiktok.com/@explorerchick)

Liberty Ships & WWII Ghosts, Part 2, at SS Jeremiah O'Brien in San Francisco

Liberty Ships & WWII Ghosts, Part 2, at SS Jeremiah O'Brien in San Francisco

Sat, Oct 24, 8:00 PM
From Bay Area Ghost Hunters
4.8

After our introduction to Liberty Ships on October 17, let’s go see the finished product. The Bay Area is fortunate enough to have one, the *SS Jeremiah O’Brien*, on exhibit in San Francisco. Admission is Dutch treat, with prices ranging from free (for small children and active Military people in uniform) to $20 per adult. These are payable at its Pier 35 entrance. For specific price breakdowns, go to: [Visit the SS Jeremiah O'Brien — Pier 35, San Francisco Waterfront](https://ssjeremiahobrien.org/visit-us/) Please wear comfortable shoes and clothes and consider the weather that day. Be aware that visiting this ship is may not be feasible for the mobility challenged. It requires climbing steep stairs and ladders and having to step over the port frames for doors. For those interested in joining us for something to eat afterward, we’ll be walking down the street to have an early dinner at the Blue Mermaid Restaurant, located in the haunted Argonaught Hotel across the street from the cable car turnaround. War demands moving troops and supplies to where they’re needed. During World War II, Liberty Ships were built for transporting passengers and cargo around the world. These ships were designed with a pattern easy enough to be mass produced, usually taking only five to eight weeks to be put together. They were built quickly and used triple-expansion steam engines similar to the one used on the *Titanic*. It only went 11 knots per hour, but they did their jobs. They would be superseded by Victory Ships, but the efficiency in building Liberty class made it easier to outnumber the others. Their primary purpose was cargo, so most were operated on orders by the War Shipping Administration (WSA), not the Navy. Hence, they were part of the Merchant Marines with the SS status in their individual names. From 1942 to the end of the war in 1945, 2,710 were produced amongst the shipyards on both coasts. Many of these ships were assembled at the shipyards in East Bay, where Hendy Iron Works sent 754 engines to be installed. Henry J. Kaiser’s Richmond Shipyard had an excellent reputation for organization and expediency, in one case putting a ship together within five days. Today, only two Liberty Ships survive. Unlike the *SS John W. Brown* currently docked in Baltimore, the *O’Brien* retains the original design configuration. Over the course of WWII, the *O’Brien* completed seven wartime voyages to destinations in Northern Ireland, India, Australia, and South America. She also made 11 crossings to the Normandy beachhead during the D‑Day landings. When Madeleine and I paid a reconnaissance visit to the *O’Brien*, the volunteer staff had no on-board ghost stories to tell, but she had already picked up 20–30 astrals in residence. As we wandered around, she soaked in the vibes of soldiers feeling as if they were sacrificial lambs. For many of those young men, going to Normandy for D-Day was the last trip they would ever take. Even more surprising, the astrals told the *O’Brien*’s stories of stowaways. According to the *Jeremiah O’Brien* website, what sets it “apart today is more than her wartime legacy. She is the only Liberty ship in the world that retains her original WWII configuration, preserved without modern alterations or conversions. Her machinery, interior layout, and construction remain faithful to 1943 standards. “This remarkable authenticity does not come at the expense of functionality. The *SS Jeremiah O’Brien* is U.S. Coast Guard inspected and approved and maintains a current classification with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS)—a rare achievement for a historic vessel of her kind. She remains seaworthy and licensed to sail under her own power, a status no other Liberty ship can claim.” Sadly, the *O’Brien*’s certification is about to expire, since the nearby office that does the certification inspection has closed. It will be sailing for the last time during this year’s Fleet Week. I look forward to seeing other Bay Area Ghost Hunters there. Adrienne
