This is a social meet-up group. All are welcome.  I found that I enjoyed setting up events designed around having fun and enjoying what life has to offer.  I found meetup groups that offered events for singles or  couples or  single parents but not for everyone. Many of my friends are single  while others are couples, some with, and some without kids. So I have designed a group for everyone. If you are single or married, with a family or a single parent, all are welcome to join in our adventures …

I'm setting this up initially for those of us who are experienced hikers and looking to do longer hikes with other like-minded LGBT folks. There are some great regular hiking groups, but none for gays and lesbians to do 10+ mile hikes and backpacking trips in a social setting. I'd love other people to lead hikes. Here are some great resources to find local hikes. http://midatlantichikes.com/ http://www.hikingupward.com www.Localhikes.com Check other meetup.com groups. If you're new to hiking, I …

From the group founder: "I love hiking and everything outdoors but lately I find myself persuading friends to go and do stuff with me simply because it is not their kind of thing. That leaves me not doing as much of the hiking I want to do because it's better to do these things with other people. Anyway, my search for people to do these things with led me here only to find most of the groups are filled with members who are older than me." So that is how this group came to be! Any outdoor adventu …
