We are a group of women who enjoy walking/hiking some of Marin's most beautiful trails. We get together one to two times a month to walk primarily in Southern and Central Marin with less frequent trips out to Point Reyes. We intentionally keep each event small so that we can get to know each other and keep logistics simple. We welcome individuals who are fit enough to keep up with the brisk walking/moderate hiking pace, who enjoy the art of conversation and who can actively contribute to the p …

We like to do afternoon walks/urban hikes mostly on week-ends and then go to happy hour. Walks usually start at 12 or 1 at a public transporation friendly starting point and end around 5 or 6 in time for happy hour.  Happy hour is optional and non-drinkers are welcome.  Some of our walks are dog friendly and when possible we will try to find a dog friendly happy hour.  Sometimes, we just go to happy hour or a wine bar.  We also like movies/films and we may schedule some film events as well. No …

I enjoy walking, hiking and meeting new people and am looking for some folks (both female and male between the ages of 35-65) who enjoy the same things. If you'd like to make some new friends while getting a little exercise, this group is for you. As of now, I plan on scheduling walks for at least once a week (early enough in the day to end before dark). This schedule could expand to additional days or short weekend hikes (probably on Sunday afternoons) if there is enough interest and participat …

In December 2011, I was sitting in a three-day, 13-hours-a-day Landmark Education self-improvement seminar in San Francisco, and all I could think about was escaping through one of the hermetically sealed windows and making a dash for Nob Hill, the only thing resembling a steep incline in the area. It was during the dinner break during the final day of the seminar that I conspired with Paul Schutzman and Mai-Ling Garcia -- two of the very cool people with whom I'd made a connection during our th …
