About us
Wonder lost
Have a passion for travel? We will be traveling to some of the most amazing national parks, state parks, and fascinating cities. Depending on the location and mode of travel, the trips will be between 1 to 5 days. Parks with high attendance will be planned several months in advance to ensure we all have rooms during our stay.
Visits to some of our fascinating cities such as San Antonio, Solvang, Seattle, or Nashville, to name a few.
The stressful parts, such as transportation, accommodations, tour tickets, additional information, including cost, are provided for each event. With the information provide you will be able to make your own reservation. On occasions, we use a tour company to have the best possible experience offered and insights to highlight the authentic side of where we are touring.
Keep in mind that we are a physically active group; most events require you to walk for a period of time or navigate stairs.
This is not a religious or political group. There are groups for that. This isn't one of them. Please treat others as you would like to be treated, or as I would say, "PLAY NICE!"
A profile with a picture where we can see your face is required. It helps so we can identify you at events. Photos with a person in the distance, partially covered, backside, side, or blurry are not acceptable.
Any member who has two no-shows will be removed. No-show means the member fails to change RSVP to “not attending”. If you sign up for an event and you cancel at the last minute, you are a "no-show". Members who have not been active with the group for 3+ months will be removed.
DUES ARE $15 A YEAR. Payable through Zelle or cash.
