If you enjoy being active, social and meeting new friends then this is the group for you! We welcome active, healthy, positive, upbeat, fun folks.

Our events are not appropriate for minors, so please leave the kiddos with a sitter. Goal: Have fun & be social! We love stand up paddle boarding / kayaking, cycling, Pickleball , live music, art and backyard barbecues & parties. Outdoor activities are moderate to fast paced.

Join the OGs (Outdoor Girlfriends), a community of open-and like-minded women who enjoy staying active and exploring the great outdoors. OGs is a place to meet new friends, learn and be inspired among other amazing women! Let's be present, mindful and enjoy the journey, rather than just reaching the destination. This group is for women of all backgrounds, races, colors, creeds, and status. What we'll do: Plenty of easy to moderate hikes, plus lunches, potlucks, museum visits, bike rides, beach days, volleyball, etc. Always open to new ideas! Events will mostly be in the San Gabriel Valley, but also LA & OC areas. ***Before joining, please read a few guidelines below.*** **ATTENDANCE:** Be respectful of the organizer and group. If plans change, please update your RSVP as soon as possible and notify the event organizer as a courtesy. Flaking to an event, especially with a wait-list, or changing your RSVP at the last minute means someone else does not have the opportunity to join. If you are a no-show more than 2 times without at least letting the organizer(s) know, you may be suspended or removed from the group. A lot of work is put into organizing events and we ask for your consideration in return. **HIKES** Hikes will range from easy (<5 miles, <2000’ gain) to moderate (5-10 miles, 2000-3500’ gain), with an occasional strenuous hike (10+ miles, >3500’ gain). Pace will be 2-3 mph (average). There’s time for pictures on the trails, but please be aware of your fitness level and considerate of the time so everyone could have a good experience and complete the hike within the allotted time. **CARPOOLING:** Feel free to reach out to other attendees if you are willing to give a carpool or need a carpool. If you decide to ride with someone, please be kind enough to share with the driver a gallon or two worth for their trouble and gas. **PHOTO:** Please have a clear photo of yourself on your profile so we could identify you. **DISCLAIMER:** The sole role of the organizer is to organize the event. They are not responsible for anyone’s safety or any incident before, during, or after the event. Participants fully understand the risks, dangers, and hazards associated with any outdoor activity, and freely accept and fully assume all such risks, dangers and hazards. Participants also further agree to release and discharge all Organizers of the Outdoor Girlfriends Meetup Group from and against any and all liability arising from you and your guest’s participation in the group activities. **Let’s have fun!**

Let's go outdoors.  Snowboard and ski in the winter and hiking and camping in the summer.  Are you adventures and looking for friends to do various outdoor activities with. We are too.  We started as a snowboarding group but have now ventured into outdoor adventures and more! We love winter sports and enjoy summer adventures as well. When there is snow, we hit up the slopes. In warmer months, we keep up the fun through hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing and other outdoor adventures as well as game nights and other fun stuff.

If you don't snowboard or ski, want to learn or enjoy outdoor adventures, we welcome you too!

Get ready to meet with local snowboarders and adventurers! Feel free to post trips & plan event with other snowboarders and outdoors enthusiasts via the message board or email. We will also meet up now & then to share boarding and outdoors stories & ideas about resorts, vacations, equipment, etc.  We will do happy hours, social networking and other fun things too!

*We snowboard and/or ski in Mammoth. If not Mammoth, we do local trip such as Mt. Baldy and Big Bear Mountain (Snow Summit and Bear Mountain). We don't discourage venturing to Vail, Aspen, Park City, Whistler, etc. The possibility is endless. Join us. If you are fun, adventurous, love the snow and the outdoors and cool adventures, and enjoy social networking, we welcome you! :)

We are getting ready for our first snowboarding/skiing trip of the year. Are you itching to go snowboarding or skiing? I sure am.  I can't wait! Snowboarding.  Yeppy!!

If you don't think you want to ski or snowboard the entire weekend, there is still plenty of cool stuff to do.  Ever been to Mono Lake and seen the tufas? It's like you're on another planet!  Ever hiked into a volcano crater?  Or what about hotsprings?  Who doesn't like hotsprings?

Love to enjoy the year round great weather in SoCal and opportunities it provides for having fun dancing, drinking, eating, listening to music, watching live shows, and making new friends in the fresh air instead of indoors? Then this is the group for you... Want to work off calories with Hiking, Biking, Paddling SUPs, Snowboarding, Boating, Beach days, Ziplining, etc? Still the right group for you... Like good food and wine, beer, cocktails, etc. but are past the stage of always needing a friend to hold your hair back at the end of the night? Yup, right group.... Still have a healthy sense of humor and believe in seeing the bright side and finding the funny in situations? Hell YES! You have found your people. :) Basically, if you are fun, outgoing and love doing tons of things outdoors but would like a few more friends to do them with THIS IS THE GROUP! We will meet up to enjoy Live Bands, Outdoor DJ's, Music festivals, Concerts, etc, with dancing not only possible, but highly encouraged- even without a dance floor! We'll also go on day hikes, paddle SUPs, do bike rides, go snowboarding, etc. And of course, a break for an adult beverage is likely to be involved as well... Other possibilities: Pageant of the Masters, Long Beach Grand Prix, trips to Catalina, Winery visits, Brewery events, Holiday Celebrations, Restaurant Specials, Food festivals, etc. As long as something is outside, it's fair game for a good time! Suggestions from members are highly encouraged! The end goal is to make some great new friends to do things you love with- safely outside and drama free. No firm age range, just be mature enough to have a fabulous time while also being responsible and reliable. Ask questions, do research if needed, come prepared, on time and ready to have fun! Ladies Only Cheers!

Meet other locals who enjoy being active. Whether it be sports, social gatherings, or community events. OC Active is where you want to be. See you all soon!

Welcome!!

This group is for those who want to remain active with others that understand the challenges of dealing with a chronic condition. <br>

My name is Lupe, I've been living with Sjogren's for 10+ years, most recently I was also diagnosed with Hashimotos. Sjogren's is an autoimmune, that among other things, attacks your moisture producing cells, causing painful inflammation, heat intolerance, dry mouth, dry eyes - dry EVERYTHING!

My main complaint is extreme fatigue and joint pain, mornings are the worse. Waking up feeling like you have the flu, everyday, is NOT fun! But my symptoms get better as the day goes on. Exercising, stretching and walking helps so much!

My husband, Brian and I took a photography class at Orange Coast College attended a school function, at the Huntington Library in Pasadena and it was HOT!

We were at the Japanese Garden and all of a sudden, I got so overheated, I felt like I couldn't breath. I panicked, started crying and like a wounded animal segregated myself, seeking shade and water. I didn't want my classmates to see what I was going through. But most importantly, I was embarrassed of being judged and I didn't want them to be upset at me for slowing them down.

Long story short, my husband Brian noticed I was missing and set out to find me, helped cool me down and got me through the day! No one was the wiser.

However, we know the importance of exercising and being active. But we also understand the challenges one faces when living with a chronic condition.

So, we started this meetup to build community, encourage others to be active and engage with others living with a chronic condition in a supportive manner.

No need to feel embarrassed or fear being judged by others in this group!

<br>

Our goal is to;

• Create Community; Hiking, Cycling, Walking, Beach, Photography, Museums, a little bit of everything, etc

• Promote and engage in an active lifestyle despite your diagnosis

• Group physical activities with others diagnosed with a chronic condition

• To get out and move the body and get the blood pumping

Ground Zero is a Tipped Outdoor Open Mic hosted by Zero Rimpson (@Zero_Kranime) Tipped meaning the show is free to watch and to perform in but if you enjoy what you see it is encouraged to tip the show. It's a way for new performers to get started being comfortable on mic and a fun low pressure live entertainment show for people on a Sunday night. It will be located on the street Walk On Wilshire in Fullerton, California every Sunday at 6pm. It's a very easy going mic where performers get to go as long as they want (No Time Limit) on the mic with respect to their fellow performers. I hope to see you there

Hello everyone! If you’re passionate about the great outdoors—whether it’s hiking, biking, camping, backpacking, doing yoga, meditating, or simply strolling through the park—you’ve found your tribe! We’re excited to organize a variety of activities, from leisurely hikes to fun weekend camping trips and everything in between. To make it easier for us to spot each other on the trails, please add a photo of yourself to your profile. We also encourage everyone to stay active and engaged; regular participation helps keep the group vibrant and cohesive. If inactivity or no-shows become a pattern, we would have to make changes to your membership. As John Muir once said, “The mountains are calling and I must go.” Let’s answer that call and embrace all the adventures awaiting us!

We work to bring the community together through weekly events. We believe that people are made to learn from one another. Therefore, having a strong, positive, and encouraging community will help a person feel uplifted after a long week of strenuous work. We love having fun together and welcome any suggestions for future events. Can't wait to meet all of you!!! How the group started: We originally intended for our events to be among close friends who share the same faith. Some of us went to the same college, some were just friends of friends. We often go on hikes to be away from the worries of the world and enjoy God's creation. However, there is so much to learn from the bigger community too so we decided to open up to everyone. What to expect: This hike will be a casual hike. So get ready to socialize and make new friends!!! And if you are a believer too, please come say hi!

A bunch of sports and creative writing and gaming separate days per

This group is a hub for women who are interested in the outdoors, exploring craft breweries and looking for more gals to join them.
