Kingston Puzzled Pint

Kingston, NY

Puzzled pint (https://puzzledpint.com/) in the Kingston area: solve the location puzzle to find which pub to head to on the second Tuesday of the month for some in-person, team puzzle solving fun! "Similar to The Game or the MIT Mystery Hunt, these are not typical “puzzles”. They are often direction-less, and may incorporate traditional puzzles like crosswords, word searches, cryptograms, jigsaw puzzles, word play and logic problems. If you like any sort of logic or word puzzle, you’ll like these!"

Hudson Running and Fitness Club

Stottville, NY

Just like the title says. I'd like there to be a group that runs and works out together, so I'm going to try making a group myself! All fitness levels are welcome. The activities we'll do will depend on the interest. If you want to run, we'll run. If you want a boot camp workout, we'll do that. If enough of you are cyclists, we'll do that too. We'll figure it out as we go, but you will work up a sweat, I guarantee.

About me: I'm NOT a personal trainer, fitness guru, cult leader or even especially in that great shape myself. I'm a guy, mid forties, who wants to stay active and I figure some others feel the same. I like running and calisthenics so that will be what I bring to the table, knowledge-wise. Anyone with other skills, like Yoga, are encouraged to come, too.

On the Cryptid Trail

Rhinebeck, NY

Only 2300 years ago people believed our sun revolved around the Earth. We thought the earth was flat, and many imagined stars were moon fragments embedded onto a vast dome in the night sky, and meteorites were omens from angry gods. As science progressed, we still knew only of our immediate solar system and were told Earth was the center of the Universe, uniquely imbued with life. Today we’re aware of 60 billion potentially habitable planets within our Milky Way galaxy alone, and we can observe upwards of 2 trillion other galaxies. Just imagine what science will unveil over the coming years. The Cosmos is infinite. Despite our expanding cosmic knowledge, we can’t seem to wrap our heads around the idea of a latent hominoid here on Earth, or of beings from other planets. It goes against what we've been taught, chafes our religious beliefs, and creates fear of the unfamiliar. Let’s get together and share our thoughts on what these alleged creatures might be and the significance of why they would be here. Our planned events will include a variety of activities which could be anything from a casual hike, to overnight trips. The idea is to have fun, and share knowledge and insights on concepts not *yet* understood by the mainstream. \*\*ATTENDANCE\*\* Please be mindful of your reservations. If you commit to an event then decide not to go, please change your r.s.v.p. IMMEDIATELY so the group is not standing around waiting for you. Anyone with 2 no-shows may be removed from the group without notice.

Hiking Boots & Booze

Rhinebeck, NY

Welcome to Hiking Boots & Booze! No, silly, we don't drink and hike! We're a dedicated hiking and adventure group that always ends each event with refreshments and food. Alcoholic beverages are left to your discretion. Hiking is typically the main event, but bike rides, weekend get-a-ways, and longer excursions are fairly common. Hikes typically range between 4 and 8 miles and are concentrated across the southern Berkshires and throughout the Catskill Mountains, but also within the Mid-Hudson Valley. On most hikes we will keep a moderate pace, so you should be suitably fit to keep the pace for the difficulty rating of posted events. Safety is important and it is your responsibility to read each event description fully, along with any associated links, so that you arrive fully prepared. It is also your responsibly to enable your group settings and push notifications to receive messages and emails from the organizer. \*\*ATTENDANCE\*\* Please be mindful of your reservations. If you commit to an event then decide not to go, please change your r.s.v.p. IMMEDIATELY so the group is not standing around waiting for you.

Holistic Hikers

Kingston, NY

We become whole as we connect all aspects of ourselves to Nature -- including one another. This connection illuminates when we engage with all our senses, activate our minds, and are open to our spirit. Literature, art, heritage, and dialogue each shared in the outdoors are essential conduits to this invigoration of self, community, and environment.

Christians in Creation

Kingston, NY

“Nature has spread for us a rich and delightful banquet," espouses Thomas Cole of the Hudson River School of art, "Shall we turn from it? We are still in Eden; the wall that shuts us out of the garden is our own ignorance and folly.”

This group is simply a pathway to the outdoors. In a variety of activities, in a range of skill levels, we enjoy the divinity of nature without proselytizing, for as Emerson writes: "We see God face to face every hour, and know the savor of Nature."

Nature writer, John Burroughs -- native of my hometown, Esopus -- in his essay of 1922, The Last Harvest, writes: “God is as near us as ever He was – why should we take religion at secondhand?” Burroughs is not saying don't go to church or to eschew spiritual literature. He is saying: a spiritual life without time in Creation is incomplete.

Please join these outings to comfortably step into the wonders of nature near at hand. For as John Muir counsels, "Spread a fern-frond over a man's head, and worldly cares are cast out, and freedom and beauty and peace come in."
