What we’re about
This is an activity group for all ages and abilities. Friendly pets are welcome.*
We do 1 or 2 group things per month usually on Saturdays.
When you join, Please let us know what you'd like to do first!!
If you're interested in being an organizer, let me know.
I will add a descriptor to the exercise related Meetups as follows (I'll add a +/- to add more detail):
Hard - Example - Camp Muir day hike OR 50+ miles on a bicycle with hills.
Medium - Example - Summit Mt. Defiance/Mailbox Peak OR ride 40-50miles with hills.
Easy - Example - Hike to Talapus Lake in summer OR ride bikes around Lake Sammamish at Cascades group 'brisk' pace.
Picnic - Example - Walk around a flat park for a few hours OR ride bikes around Greenlake.
Study - Example - Sit at Starbuck's and learn how to use a Compass.
Volunteer - Example - Spend a few hours working on Homeless data collection.
Social - Example - Meet for dinner or a movie.
Our activities are more experiential than goal oriented. The goal is to gather for relaxed fun activity. The summit of a mountain is not the goal...we often turn back to support the group. But, if the conditions are right and it's safe...let's try for the summit!

Safety Considerations**:**
How safe is Meetup? Meetup is as safe as other social media websites, so long as you exercise caution when meeting with those you are connected to through the website. You can also report abusive users to keep them accountable for their actions, and ensure that everyone using the website can meet in a safe environment.
INHERENT RISK: As of today, there are no experts in this group. Nobody is qualified to lead any event. We are simply inviting you to come along as a friend on various activities that we personally participate in. You participate at your own risk. Inherent natural hazards are associated with back-country travel, cycling, or any physical activity. We do not - nor do any organizers of this group - accept any liability for accidents/injuries in connection with the activities published herein or on linked sites. By participating in any event of this group you are agreeing to release me (Pat Vulk) or any other organizer from liability. See section 6.2 of Meetup's terms of service - they apply here too. By becoming a member of this group you are providing an electronic waiver which you agree to be equivalent to a signed waiver that shall be considered legal in a court of law.
