If you are a young adult this is the perfect group to try out with the most active group in the area. This is the fastest growing group in Tampa since I launched this back in May. This is now one of the most popular groups in the area with many events having 50+ on the weekends. Very often once a member attend one of our events the first time they sign up for another 5 events I have a good amount of regulars at events which help break the ice for newer members at our events. Events I offer will be a range of big ones and smaller ones. This meetup isn’t the typical bar hopping ones. I offer events like hiking, kayaking, arts & crafts, book club, dancing, pickleball, outdoor adventures, unique events like field day games. I pledge to make this a very active group with many different events. I like to have a balance of big events like beach days and top golf and smaller events trying to group other peoples hobbies together. Target people who like hiking, yoga, camping, beach days, kayaking, water sports, campfires, sunset, star gazing, biking, etc. As someone who grew up in Utah with the outdoors, I am looking to connect other outdoor lovers like myself too. IMPORTANT GROUP POLICY If you can no longer make it to an event you need to either update your rsvp or message one of the organizers. I understand something comes up no worries please respect our time it takes a lot time and effort to organize events which we do volunteer. After 2 times no showing without updating rsvp will result in removal in group. This will be strictly enforced with our members we haven’t met yet.

**Outdoor Fun Adventures** Meetup Group formerly **Fifty Plus Explorers** We have had complaints about our lack of focus recently. Also some folks seem upset if someone under 50 shows up at an event, while other members feel restricted by not feeling free to bring a younger family member, coworker or friend to an event. So we are removing any age restriction. We also felt explorers maybe sounded like a travel group while that has not been a major group activity. We are focusing on **Outdoor Fun Adventures** to carry on that legacy from Jim McConnell, We expect most events will be in Florida but other area **Fun Outdoor Adventures** are welcome. Our group is all about exploring places and things to do outdoors. Come enjoy Florida with us on biking, kayaking, hiking, camping, boating, pickle ball and other fun outdoor expeditions! Please invite others to join our group to help it be vibrant. The purpose of this group is **FUN OUTDOOR ADVENTURES**.

We are using a double opt in and some folks with yahoo, gmail, hotmail, msn say they went into spam. Until you click second email you are not going to get newsletter. If it is in spam, just click NOT SPAM, then OPT IN. Don't send instant messages through meetup to folks you haven't met. Propositions to meet outside of meetup events to a virtual stranger is creepy. Of course a relevant message to an event host regarding an upcoming meetup is different. Thank you for that consideration. Players there are plenty of other sites if you just want to hook up one on one, don't make folks feel unsafe here. If you have done a meetup with someone and want to send them a good to see/meet you followup to me that is totally different, but if they do not reply or aren't interested don't be a "meetup creep". Of course it's great if folks "meetup" and some magic develops. So please remember while it is fun to "meetup", this group is not "hookup.com" or "match.com". Not everyone here is single or seeking a romance. Remember if you receive an unsolicited message or suspicious or inappropriate behavior, please report it to Paul S, it is grounds for dismissal of violating party. They probably are spamming others here and in other groups. LEGAL DISCLAIMER AND LIABILITY POLICY: By joining this group, RSVPing to events, and attending events, you are confirming that you have read, understand, accept and are legally bound by the following: 1\. Fun Florida Outdoor Adventures is a meetup group\. Attending events or trips is voluntary by you as a member\. Participation in any activity with us by you is at your own risk\. You assume the risk for any guest you bring\, adult or minor\. 2\. By joining [Fun Florida Outdoor Adventures](www.FunBikeTrips.com) as a member you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the group, it's organizers, co-organizers, assistant organizers, event hosts, other members and guests from all claims or liability of every type (including court costs and legal fees) for injury or death to any person or for damage to property, loss of personal property or any other wrongful act arising out of or relating to your participation as a member. This agreement applies to you and to other persons who may accompany you in these endeavors, adult or minor. 3\. You also agree to hold the organizers as well as other group members harmless\. By participating voluntarily in the group\, you expressly waive any and all such claims against each and every other member and their guests in the group\, including without limitation any and all claims against the group organizers\, co\-organizers\, assistant organizers\, and event hosts\. 4\. Any social events or trips that Fun Florida Outdoor Adventures sponsors\, holds or provides information about will fall also under the same Disclaimer and Liability guidelines listed above\. 5\. Re kayaking\, The [Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission](https://myfwc.com/boating/regulations/) sets the rules and regulations for all motorized and non-motorized watercraft. While kayakers do not have to follow all of the same rules as motorized vessels, some of the rules and regulations do apply. Life Jackets-Every child in your kayak under the age of 6 must wear a Coast Guard-approved [personal flotation device](https://www.trails.com/list_231_best-life-jackets-kayaking.html) (PFD) while the kayak is moving. For everyone over the age of 6, there must be an approved PFD available inside the kayak unless the kayak is being used within a "swimming, surfing, or bathing area." While those over the age of 6 are not required to wear their life jackets, it's good practice to keep your life jacket on and securely fastened while you are on the water. Sound Device-Kayakers are required to carry a sound-making device that can be heard for at least one-half nautical mile when the kayak is in use. A whistle or horn are the most commonly used sound devices. The sound device is required in the event that you need to alert other boaters of your presence in order to avoid a collision. The sound device can also be used to signal for help should you find yourself in trouble and require assistance. To signal distress, blow hard into your whistle three times in a row. Most kayakers will attach a whistle to their life jacket where it is easily accessible.  Lights-When kayaking between sunset and sunrise, or during periods of reduced visibility such as fog or rain, kayakers are required to carry a white light onboard their kayak. The kayaker is to display the [light](https://www.trails.com/facts_40180_kayak-safety-lighting.html) if another vessel approaches, to avoid a possible collision. Most kayakers use a flashlight or lantern as their light. Take note that the light should not be continually displayed, but shown only when other vessels are approaching.  Registration-Kayaks do not have to be registered in the state of Florida unless they have a motor. Law Enforcement-According to state law, law enforcement officers have the authority to stop you while you are kayaking to check and make sure you are complying with all safety laws. Law enforcement officers also have the authority to order the removal or relocation of your kayak if it is deemed a hazard to public safety or is found to be interfering with the navigation of other vessels. Manatee Awareness-Manatees in Florida and around the world are listed as vulnerable, meaning their populations are declining. There are an estimated 6,130 manatees in Florida and they are protected by state and federal law. Anything that disrupts a manatee's normal behavior is punishable by law and could result in a $50,000 fine or land you in jail for a year. Should you be lucky enough to see a manatee while you are in your kayak, maintain a respectable distance and let the animal have its space.  Seagrass Awareness -Seagrasses are the main source of food for marine herbivores such as manatees and green sea turtles. In some Florida waters it is a violation of state law to damage seagrass beds. While kayaking, stay within channels and avoid taking shortcuts through seagrass beds. Seagrass beds are marked as light green or by the letters "grs" on navigational charts. General Safety-In addition to following all of the kayaking safety rules and regulations, it's important to follow [general safety tips](https://www.trails.com/list_33297_kayak-safety-tips.html), too. • Let someone know where you will be kayaking. • Check your [kayak](https://www.trails.com/facts_33305_anatomy-kayak.html) for leaks or points of weakness before entering the water. • Whenever possible, kayak with a buddy. • Be aware of obstructions in the water that could trap your boat and throw you out of it. • Be aware of other boats and know that motorized watercraft may not see you. • Wear appropriate clothing, including sun protection.  • Pay attention to the [weather](https://www.trails.com/how_973_read-weather-sea-kayaking.html) and do not go out on the water if hazardous conditions are expected. 6\. No hate zone\. Please avoid any hateful comments\, profanity\, political ranting or rhetoric\. We will ban rabble rousers\. Let's keep this a friendly positive place\.  Do you have some fun ideas for events? If you want to be an event host so you may post an outing just let Paul S know. The cool thing about hosting is you pick, the what, where and when of things that you want to do!  The more variety of event types, venues and hosts the better. Any interest in multi day trips?

**Tampa Bay Area - 45+ Active Couples Group is not considering new applications for membership at this time. We like to keep our group small and intimate to allow friendships to nurture and so far we have met that goal. We will consider new applications as spots become available. Thank you for your interest.** Hello and welcome to 45+ Active Couples Group! Our members range in age from 45 to 70"s. We are a group of outgoing, active, social couples located all around the Tampa Bay area. Our vision is to make new friends while enjoying the many different venues and events that the Tampa Bay area has to offer such as…exploring new restaurants and new places, walking/hiking, festivals, live music, and various other activities! This is NOT a group for swingers, singles or those looking to hook up. Our membership is limited to married or committed couples who enjoy socializing and having fun. Our activities are based upon the interest of its members and your active participation is welcomed. Guidelines: 1)To help cover some of the costs to keep the website up and running, we are asking for an **annual contribution of $10 per couple**. This is only due when you have attended your first meetup and then decide if the group is for you before contributing. 2)Since this is a meetup for couples, we ask that you post a picture of both of you. If you cannot, your application will be declined. Also, please complete the brief profile. 3)Since many of our activities may require reservations, it is expected that if you RSVP yes, but are unable to attend, that you cancel within adequate notice (optimally within 24 hours). 4) Social media is really great but the intent of this group is to develop personal relationships. 5) We do ask that this remain an adult only meet-up group, unless otherwise specified. 6) No swingers or couples involved in a polyamorous lifestyle. 7) Inactive members will be removed after six months and we reserve the right to remove/restrict/decline members for inappropriate behavior.

Walking Innovators is a hiking group for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, local professionals, and innovators with a unique format: combine walking/hiking activities with brainstorming, intellectually stimulating conversations, etc. Meet other innovators, get advice, bounce ideas, learn something new, make friends, and find help and support from your peers - professionals in the same or similar industries - all while hiking and enjoying nature. You won't even notice, as you get more fit, improve your posture and get a good workout in the most natural way (just as our ancestors did), while doing their daily chores. The human body requires a lot of movement to stay healthy (10000 steps daily recommended by the American Heart Association) and the Austin metropolitan area offers some great trails/views and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. We can start with some simple yet effective walking and exercise techniques (courtesy of my chiropractor and gymnastic in structor in Europe) while discussing various topics of interest. We hope that the fresh air, beautiful nature, and interesting conversations with other innovators will inspire us to come up with new ideas, find teams/partners, create amazing projects, launch start-ups, and maximize our potential in general. Topics can be suggested for each meetup and we can form interest groups for every hike - anything from technology to management, education, etc. We can also team up with other meetups and expand our horizons. Feel free to provide your suggestions, new ideas, and comments - we look forward to exploring opportunities that this new format presents. The Walking Innovators group was first started in SF Bay Area in August of 2011 and expanded to Hawaii (Oahu), Los Angeles and Austin, TX. Now we are thrilled to restart the group for the new generation of entrepreneurs and innovators.

Welcome to our solo travel group! I understand that it can sometimes be challenging to find someone to join you on your travels, which is why I created this community specifically for solo travelers.
