What we’re about

I started Rick's Hiking & Fun Group a few days after 9/11/01 to bring people together for fun, friendship and community, both outdoors and in.

At first I advertised in the Chicago Reader, then on Craig's List, and starting in 2009, on meetup. the group had 181 events before joining meetup, so you can add that number to the meetup total for the true number of events.

To view some scenes from the early days of the group from 2002-2005, see https://www.angelfire.com/trek/rickhike/ .

We do hiking, game nights, dining out, conversation salons, house concerts, potlucks, etc.  we hike at a leisurely pace, stop to smell the roses, and value socializing.  we welcome you, please join us.
