What we're about
CLICK ON "READ MORE" BEFORE APPLYING--Due to unprecedented demand, we need to limit new membership to those living in the Baltimore Metro area. Also required is your first name and last name or initial, and a current headshot of just yourself. DO NOT APPLY unless these three items are met!
We're a friendly, inclusive hiking group. Most of our hikes are in Central Maryland, within 20 minutes of I-695. We have hikes for beginners, which are around 4 miles, and easy terrain. We also have weekly hikes that are moderate or strenuous for more experienced hikers. The hikes will be labeled as "easy" (mainly flat, walking), "moderate" (a mix of some hills and flat trail) or "strenuous/difficult" (steep hills or rock scrambling).
Other types of adventuring might be camping, kayaking, sailing, climbing, etc. If you have any interests in leading an adventure, or a regular recurring hike, please email me! Thanks, Tim

Monday looks like it might be a beautiful spring day to hike a few miles around Lake Roland. Let's meet at the Falls Road Light Rail lot (39°22'35.83"N 76°38'56.15"W) for 4- 5 miles around Lake Roland. The pace is easy, but there will be rocky and muddy footing along the Red and Blue trails. Be prepared! Hiking boots required, don't even ask!!
ONE dog allowed per hike, if you are bringing your pup, please say so in the comments section.
PLEASE only RSVP if you intend to make the hike a priority, not just an option. Not fair to take a confirmed spot, then cancel less than 48 hours in advance, limiting others' potential to participate!!

The response from members has been outstanding! At the March4th dance, we had over 40 Meetup members from four groups having a great time! The reviews are in...."Had a blast!"..."everyone is so nice and helpful!"...."people are so welcoming!"....."the best time!"..."A great Saturday night out!'....It's live Irish music, easy group dancing with instructions, and free beer...just 20 bucks! It's not like Riverdance...this is called ceili (kay-lee) dancing, like the Irish do at parties and weddings, easy and fun, no experience required. No partners required! I guarantee that you'll get as good a workout as a five mile hike! I attend these regularly and they're always fun. Don't want to dance? Just enjoy the music and dancers, it's fun to watch! Bring food and your favorite adult beverage if you're not a beer drinker...soda and snacks are free.

This event is cross-posted, please RSVP in one group only.
Plan to come promptly at 5:45 or a little earlier. The easiest dances are in the first hour...the music starts at six!
As seating is limited, I can't stress enough how important it will be to honor your 'going' commitment, or cancel no later than Thursday, so please make sure your schedule is clear before hitting the "attend" button, OK? Post questions here or text me, my cell is[masked]. Tim
