The goal of this group is to get as many people in the Contra Costa County to leave the couch, get out and hike, bike, walk the beautiful trails that we have around us; hopefully meeting once or twice a month. This group is open to everyone regardless of age and as long as it's allowed friendly dogs are absolutely welcome. We want to select trails that have an average difficulty in order to fit all levels. The group is also open to suggestions if anyone wants to hike a particular trail.

We're a great group of guys who have come together almost every week/weekend now since August 2012 to explore the various trails--in the hills, by the bay, and in between--that are right here at our doorstep in the East Bay.  No heroic mountaineering, just a good solid regular hike, fun companionship, a bit of adventurous exploring now and then, and on occasion, some socializing over food and drink afterward.  Nothing beats the fresh air, the spectacular landscape and views, and making some new …

This group is for the general public to enjoy wine and socialize. Whatever wine you like is OK here, because this group is not for the wine industry or the "wine expert" snobs. The organizer is not part of the wine industry and does not take money or gifts from the wine industry, e.g., no web site sponsors. Therefor, we don't promote or push any wine brands on our web site. We only go to nice QUIET uncrowded venues. None of our photos are of paid professional models, just us. Our wine meetups ar …

You're thrilled that you now get to live in the Bay Area but New York will always be an important part of who you are. We get together to enjoy practically everything -- happy hours, city hikes, short hikes in the surrounding hills, street fairs, parades, concerts in the parks...just as long as we have a good excuse to get together and …

This meetup group is for brand new and expecting moms who are looking to connect with other moms in Hercules and the surrounding area.  I started this group so new moms like me could meet other moms, share their experiences, learn from one another, build friendships for our children and ourselves, and lose the baby weight together while having fun with our little ones.  Activities might include stroller walking, field trips, story time at the library, arts and crafts, going out for lunch to kid …

This is a group for yogis who are also hikers. We hike, we practice yoga, we meditate, we become friends. Our best sun salutations are in the wilderness where we feel complete and one whole with Mother Earth. Our hikes are challenging but our yoga retreats in the woods and in the mountains are peaceful. Our outings will be in small groups as wilderness and crowds do not go together. I am a member of other meetups and I learned from those experiences. I would like to set up this one differently. …

Hello, Thanks for checking out this meetup. I decided to create this group because community is important to me and I, and some friends of mine, believe there are many of us lesbian, queer, and sexually fluid women out there who value spiritual connection, compassion, psychological and emotional depth, non-judgment and open-heartedness that would enjoy meeting each other. My intention for this meetup is to provide a place where a diverse group of women who come from a variety of spiritual paths/ …

This a group for photographers who explore urban areas seeking a particular aesthetic. It is not the modern, clean, well-ordered architecture or landscape environment nor it is a sentimental view of beauty: a flower, beautiful people, a loyal pet, a scenic vacation... it is a darker vision.  It is not necessarily "urban" as you can see from past meetups.  It has been a decommissioned Navy base (Mare Island), former prison (Alcatraz), pet cemetery (Presidio), industrial shoreline (Pt. Richmond) a …

This group is for the unseen and unexplainable. I'm not talking about UFO's, I'm talking about invisible chronic illness. Actually, this group is for anyone dealing with a chronic illness, invisible or not, and the people close to them. My idea for the group is that we can come together to support each other, hear each others' stories, find empathy from others who have walked a similar path as us, and give each other encouragement and share the wisdom we have learned from living with a chronic i …

We are active, and not only like to walk and meet new friends (or more!), but do other fun things: picnics, board games, overnite short getaways during the week, maybe have a salon to bring your creative wisdom, and tell about. The possibilities are there, we just need YOU.
