Introduction to board & card games

A group for women who hike and backpack in California (and occasionally further abroad).
We respect Leave No Trace, share the costs of our adventures equally if necessary, and enjoy the company of awesome wilderness loving women who are wanting companions to go out and play.
Message me if you would like to be an event organizer. Always happy to facilitate community.
 
 

My wife, Mary Hertert, and I started www.WesternSlopeAdventuers.org as a meetup.com group when we moved from Anchorage, Alaska (where we had started the www.AnchorageAdventurers.org in 2007) in 2011. 
Meetup.com was purchased by a large company, We Work,  last year and it's service has been suffering since that time.
Another similar platform has shown up on the web, called Down to Meet. It's so new that it says 'beta testing' on its website.
However, in WSA, we are moving a bunch of the events that we are posting over there to see how it works out. In addition to keeping an eye on WSA on meetup.com, you might want to take a look at: https://www.downtomeet.com/org/Western-Slope-Adventurers/home.
Signing up on one or the other, we hope to see you outdoors real soon.

Welcome to Roadrunners - a new Motorcycle club with a fun attitude to our hobby & lifestyle. We are small at the moment but have big ideas and high hopes for the future!
The plan is to create fun, regular events for all aspects of Riding. We will be mainly based in and around the M25 but will also include regular touring trips as well.
Our ethos is:
Fun - Inclusiveness - Respect
Feel free to join us - we re not about rules and egos... al we want to do is ride with a bunch of like-minded folk. You will be treated with respect and we expect the same in return. Want to ride in a T-shirt? You're an adult and that is your choice, you won't be reprimanded for it. Want to join a big trip but only have a 125? That's fine - you'll be welcome, we included everyone. Want to go at warp speeds? No issues with that - just pay your own tickets is all we ask!
We understand that we are all responsible enough to make our own decisions within a group environment. As long as you aren't a danger to anyone within the group - we will welcome you to join us on a ride. 
Happy riding!

Founders of Roadrunners Motorcycle Club.

ABOUT PARGAT & PHIL:

Phil, Pargat & Sabrina (Phil's Girlfriend) - The Highlands, February 2016. What a crazy Idea...
We've been good friends since 2015, meeting from LMRC - another club. We have many great memories of riding together, some very crazy like riding around in snowy Scotland in February, chasing each other all day through seriously good roads at speeds you wouldn't want to speak too loudly to people of authority! ...And some a bit more down to earth like fixing bikes and eating dinner together. 
We have a very relaxed attitude to life in general really and expect to head this club the same as everything else - chilled out. We didn't set this club up for any other reason than: we just want to go for a burger and have a relaxed atmosphere. Come and join us on a ride and we hope to meet & make new friends too.

We are the Colorado Chapter of the International Airheads Beemer Club (CO-ABC).
The ABC provides a connection to, and camaraderie with, those who enjoy, maintain and ride airhead BMW Motorcycles, the "Legendary Motorcycles of Germany" manufactured between 1955 and 1995. Learn more about the ABC at www.airheads.org.
The Colorado chapter coordinates activities across the state including Tech Days, Tech Classes, camp-outs and rides. If you love, own or wish you owned a classic BMW Airhead motorcycle, please join us.
You do NOT have to  be a member of the ABC to join CO-ABC, but you do have to enjoy BMW Airhead motorcycles, want to learn how to maintain and repair them, or help others learn, and like hanging out with like-minded people. Our members host Tech Days, Tech Classes and rides here and there.
If you are a member of ABC, or not, all members of this DtM group should act in accordance with the cannons of the Airheads Beemer Club cannons, reproduced below.
Club Canons
1. Airheads ride Beemers with air-cooled heads.
2. Airheads believe that the simplest engineering solutions are the best.
3. Airheads appreciate function over form, fact over fiction, and friendship over friction.
4. Airheads regard money as a tool, not a status symbol.
5. Airheads are earthly people who like to camp.
6. Airheads maintain their own motorcycles.
7. Airheads don't take themselves, religion or life too seriously.
8. Airheads like to share time, knowledge, parts and camaraderie with other Airheads.

Wilderness Corps is for people who enjoy Backpacking, Hiking, Wilderness Stewardship, and Trail Maintenance in the beautiful and rugged Sierra Mountains while socializing with other like-minded individuals. 

Do you want to stay in shape and give back at the same time? During the Summer months, we offer a variety of activities for people of all ages. We provide front country trips between 5 to 10 miles per day in length to moderate to advanced trips 10 + miles in length per day. These trips are geared towards 1) Keeping public trail access open and 2) providing wilderness stewardship in the Wilderness Area's we support, and 3) assist forest visitors and educate them about Leave No Trace and outdoor ethics. In the winter months, we have our Winter Program which is geared towards supporting the Over Snow Vehicle Department, of the High Sierra Ranger District. There are 100+ miles of Winter Trails in and around Huntington Lake Area, and half of that gets cleared each year. The Winter Program gives volunteers an opportunity to come out and volunteer to do a different variety of activities, like get certified to operate a snowmobile, get your First Aid and CPR Certificates, learn to operate a chainsaw safely with supervision and then ultimately getting out there in the snow to assist the public and keep the trails safe.   

Most events will be scheduled on weekends along with the occasional weekday and/or holiday trips. During the summer season, there will be a lot of extended trips into the backcountry. 2018/2019 will be much like years past where Wilderness Corps clears the public trails in the Dinkey Lakes Wilderness, and now through collaboration, we will be assisting with trail clearing in the Kaiser Wilderness. For those interested in multi-day activities, there will be a lot of backpacking/camping trips scheduled during the spring, summer, and autumn seasons. For the 2018/2019 Winter, we now have a Winter Program which focuses on Offroad Snow Vehicle use and the recreation management activities associated with this. Volunteers are encouraged to apply for this program,

Hiking and backcountry travel can be a dangerous and unpredictable activity. It is ALWAYS recommended you bring sufficient supplies of drinking water, snacks/food, a small first aid kit, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a flashlight to all outdoor activities and know your limits. Of equal importance is that you have the proper type of footwear and clothing. Please match the hike to your skill level.
If you have any questions feel free to reach out to our organizers... We will be using the Forum (link in the menu bar) to post information related to getting started with our trail crew.

Africa welcomes $PAC, at the first International Blockchain Conference, educating students and business owners on cryptocurrency, $PAC as an alternative payment ecosystem and how to organise their own community circles to begin commerce of $PAC in the region.Lagos, Nigeria – Home to one of the world largest populations of un-banked people. Daily commerce and trade occurs mainly in cash, which in a country where crime is at an all time high provides considerable risk to both small and large businesses.
$PAC, is attempting to establish a foothold in the region by running a series of educational conferences and talks at various locations inviting members of the public, students and business owners to learn about cryptocurrencies and how $PAC can lead the way as an alternative digital payment solution and increase adoption with merchants.

Over the Hill Gamers is open to anyone over age 30. We are a committed group of tabletop RPG players and GMs dedicated to great games and respect for all players. We play games like Dungeons & Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, Traveller, Fate, and others.

This group is based in South East Mississauga.   We are a group of volunteer knitters and crocethers who make strips that are stitched to each other’s strips to create blankets which are then donated to shelters for those in need.
Strip dimensions - 4 feet long by at least 8 inches high (strips can be higher).
Strips must have straight edges to be able to be stitched to other strips.
Yarn is supplied to members.  Yarn supplied is expected to make strips or full sized blankets.  Full sized blankets must be a minimum of 5' 5" in height.
(If you wish to use your own supplied yarn to make blankets of different sizes, that is fine, but the groups yarn supply is minimal, hence the ‘restrictions’ to the 48” strips or blankets of only the 5’ 5” size).
Donations of yarn (even those small little balls you may have leftover from other projects) are always welcome.
At various times, this group may have initiatives for making winter wear (hats, scarfs, etc), donations of other crafted items, etc - please keep an eye on the site for these types of events, otherwise the groups main focus will be strips for blankets (or full sized blankets).  
(The group will not regularly be making kitty blankets as in the previous group - we are going to solely be focused on strips and blankets for the time being).
Please be sure to tie in all loose ends on your strips and/or blankets - it causes me a lot of extra work and wasted time to tie in loose ends.   
If you are making a full size blankets (5’ 5”), you can make them more narrow than 48”, but please do not go less than 40-42”.   
Thank you and I’m looking forward to working with you all making blankets and helping those in need.

It is FREE to join the group and to attend any SoCal Hikers & Trail Builders' events. Consider this group as friends getting together.  We post events such as hikes, backpacking trips, out-of-town events, road trips, wine tastings, etc.  The group also maintains trails in the Angeles National Forest and other local trails in order to give back to the community.  

If you are interested in leading or hosting an event, please DM one of the group's organizer.

The leaders in this group aren't professional or trained hike leaders. You are responsible for yourself. By signing up for these events, you and your guests agree not to hold the SoCal Hikers organizers responsible for whatever happens to you on these events.
