I started this group as a way to keep me accountable to my fitness and weight loss goals. It is so much more fun when you can exercise with other people.

I will be doing it regularly so you can join me everyday or just once a week, whatever works for your schedule.   I also invite any member to post an event that they want to host to the site. Everyone has different sche …

I decided to start this group because we have some really awesome and fun hiking trails in our area. And also, some of these agencies have docents that really rock.

This group is for anyone who likes to go hiking, or for walks and would like people to go with. If you like walking with other people, if you are shy, frie …

Coastal hikes, inland hikes, simpler walks in town, cultural and social events -- we've expanded beyond the scope of the group's original name. Maybe some "hiking to music" in the form of Square Dancing or Ballroom Dancing. There will be some meetups at Cubberley Pavillion in Palo Alto where lessons are taught at 8pm every Friday and and Saturday nights. Some of our events will be small dog friendly as I have a Papillion. :) The age range is extended to make it a 35-65ish group. Anybody wit …
