What we’re about
This group is about getting out with other people and being social while doing it.
This group is about real life. So online messaging of people you have not met in real life is not allowed.
For the rest of any rules of conduct . . . they pretty much run along the lines of your average cabin group for a sleep-away Summer Camp.
Think of this group as . . . Summer Camp For Adults.
With that . . .
. . . Here are the basics of group rules.
- Do NOT contact members who you have not met in real life. (see above)
- Avoid Put Downs.
- Speak For Yourself.
- Listen To Others.
- You Have The Option To Pass.
- Expect Unfinished Business.
Attendance rules: Try to always update your RSVP.
Photo and Name: You are allowed to join with whatever name and whatever photo. HOWEVER the main organizers may request you change either name or photo a their discretion.
Names that are products, promotional, advertisements are red flags that will be requested to change or be removed.
If you are using a photo that is not your face, a current face photo may be requested.
Here is the rule of thumb.
Fake name and fake photo will be requested to change to a real photo and a real name or face removal.
Real photo and fake name is usually fine. Fake photo and real name is usually fine.
IF you need to maintain privacy of both then contact the main organizers and just ask. That's all it takes usually.
Can't stress this enough . . . As a guideline do not message people you have not met in person. This is not an online dating place.
Ladies: If a guy messages you please contact me. There have been problems with that happening over meetup in general.
It's just not cool.
Meetup is about real life and not virtual.
Guys, . . . get off your computer and come to an event. Say hello in person. Smile, . . . be personable and decent.
And just be there to get to know people and make friends of whatever gender.
You can always use new good friends.
And this is one way to make/meet them.
Wingman tactics and and Pickup artist tactics are similarly not allowed in this group.
Organizers of another group that are not an organizer or host here are also not allowed to solicit members.
The rest of the rule are just good ways to live and be.
All organizers on the group do have different set of rules.
The (organizer) rules simplified.
- No Emailing (do not use the bulk email feature in any way)
- Do NOT use the "discussions box" on the main page of the group (it's spammy).
- No outside links
- Great Copy
- Great Pix
- 4 weeks notice is best.
- List any money costs in the first 2 or 3 lines.
Not too many rules.
Not too complicated.
They all have to do with respect for the membership.

Comet Falls & Mildred Point
Green Lake Park And Ride (South Lot), 6498 8th Ave NE (Corner of 8th and 65th), Seattle, wa, USCome out and hike to Comet Falls and Mildred Point in Rainier National Park!
Distance: 7 miles
Elevation Gain: 2,600 ft.
Difficulty: A little hard
With all the recent rainfall, now is a great time to visit some waterfalls, like Comet Falls in Rainier National Park. The trail is short but steep as it climbs about 1,400 ft up to the gorgeous tiered waterfall After the falls we will continue upward again to visit Upper Comet Falls and further onto Mildred Point. Mildred Point faces directly at the big mountain and has excellent views of Kautz glacier and much more!
Depending on conditions and time, we may choose to do some other short trails or viewpoints in the area before we leave.
We are hoping for good weather, but be ready for winter conditions! Microspikes are required! Don’t forget hiking poles, warm clothing, hats, gloves, etc. It gets dark early, so don’t forget a headlamp, in case we get back late!

The weather this time of year is unpredictable and plans can change suddenly. Recent flooding may make some trails inaccessible. I will have backup hikes ready if we need to change plans. Please keep an eye on the meetup page for any updates, changes, or cancellations.
Riders should give $20 to their drivers for gas. Bring a plastic bag to place your boots in after the hike. This hike is Mount Rainier National Park so you will need a national park pass and pets are not allowed.
Important: You and yourself alone are responsible for your own safety. Please know your abilities before signing up.17 attendees
