Springs Adventures

• This event is posted in multiple groups.

Let's get outside on a hot summer night and spend a few hours having fun with friends - play some old school games at the penny arcade. Parking is free in Manitou starting at 6pm on Saturdays.

Meet at the big Rock by Patsy's of Manitou. I will be wearing my "Meetup" t-shirt.

After, let's leave the arcade around 7:30 and go hang out/eat dinner at Trinity Brewing, 1466 Garden of the Gods Rd. We have reserved the Jersey Mike's room.

Do you enjoy jigsaw puzzles? Let’s do them together. My buddy Jason works at the YMCA and was kind enough to offer up the KidZone room for us to use for doing jigsaw puzzles. And maybe you’d want to check out how cool working out at the YMCA is. (We also do diamond art here. Check out our other event for that.) Bring your own puzzle that is from 200 to 500 pieces and it’s OK that you’ve looked at it, obviously. But it should be new to you for putting it together. For the competitive ones, we can set our own timers on our cell phones and see how fast we solve. But it’s just to enjoy your time puzzling. You can also join in on a single puzzle with your friend or something like that. You dont have to do your own puzzle. Dollar store has puzzles too!

It’s a really flexible and really fun event. Bring snacks and drinks and I will bring some snacks as well. Donations welcome to help keep running meetups, but no pressure. You’re so welcome to puzzle with us!!

Pro tip: you can bring a ring light for extra light, though the room is pretty bright.

We will play some music too. There’s lots of table space.

Bring your kayak or stand-up paddleboard for some time on the lake and pack a lunch! Even a rod and reel, if you wish. Initially, we will meet in the parking lot on the East-side near the ranger station. Look for the Meetup banner on my vehicle. Maybe launch at the lot by Coyote Ridge or drive down by the boat ramp.

I plan to hang out on the East Side of the lake. Storms can come up quick at 11 mile and you need to get off the lake ASAP.

Wearing a personal floatation device is recommended for everyone on a personal watercraft. You must have one on your boat or vessel at 11 Mile - so you might as well wear it.... If you don't have an annual Parks Pass, they should still be $10 for the day. 11 Mile can get windy - Bring bug spray, shorts, but also a jacket - water, snacks and a hat. I may be camping in Pike National Forest/fishing at 11 Mile that weekend. So, I should already be up there.

We can eat at McGinty's after
