This group is intended to be an open network of mostly experienced backpackers, of the boomer age (you can use your own definition, but 45 to 60 plus or minus is my concept).  Generally trips should be moderately paced, 6 to 8 miles a day, up to 1500 feet of gain. Everyone in the group is welcome to organize a trip, and the settings for the group allow anyone to do that.  So, if you have a trailhead reservation and want some companions, feel free to post a trip. A few suggested groundrules.  Fir …

Our mission is to create a fun, supportive and safe place where we can talk about retirement. For many of us, retirement may not be shaping up the way we hoped it would, but we can still figure out this next phase without losing our dreams – old ones and new. By combining our strengths and ideas, we have a better chance of making those dreams come true. Along with learning from each other, each week we’ll have guest speakers and experts from the community talk and answer questions about things l …

Let's get together and make some new long lasting friendships. One requirement: you must have a sense of humor. Having 2 kids getting ready to go to college, I realize I have made them my priority for the past 18 years and making new friends has been a priority on the back burner. That's changed now and I would love to meet some women who are about the same age who have time during the day (I'm 59 and retired now- YaHOOO!) and want to PLAY! Meeting for coffee, check the chemistry & vibes with ea …

These days, most of the dance clubs and social meetup groups are focused on music from the 80s and later, from hair metal to house to hip-hop to funk/R&B to DJ mashups and the like. What is missing is a group with an emphasis on live band music from oldies rock and roll, to classic 60s rock (the British invasion, beach music, folk and acid rock, etc.) through the more popular 70s rock (Eagles, Doobies, etc.) You know the kind of music I am talking about! Well, THIS IS IT! Dancing to live mus …
