Laid Back Lively Ladies--it's a bit of a contradiction, isn't it? But it couldn't be more perfect. Most women have incredibly diverse interests--enjoying an occasional night on the town but also loving a casual movie night or a girl’s night in. This group is for women for whatever reason have looked around and realized, “Hm--I don’t have many girlfriends anymore.” Perhaps you are in this funny stage between college and marriage, or post-divorce. Or maybe through the years your friendships ha …

I am a member of a bunch of fun MeetUp groups, but many are far away.  This one is to try and round up more local people for my favorite interests. This group is for all of us who live in Concord and beyond and still want to have fun but with a little less driving. The hope is for us to be able to find some local people who like to do whatever it is we like to do or, at the least, meet some cool people in the area.  We've got some great local resources out here, and we're well situated for esc …

Most of our hikes are weekday AM in the Livermore and TriValley. Mostly 1 to 2 hours, we occasionally do longer hikes of 3 or 4 hours. Very rarely weekends, so if that is your only availability, we might not be the right group for you. You don't HAVE to work from home, but if you are available during weekdays (retired, flexible schedule etc) and want to get out in the sun (and rain) and get your fitness and nature fix early in the morning, come on out and join us.

I love dogs! Actually, I love cats, too. In fact, I love animals. Dogs are just so easy to love, but they need special attention and some dogs need more activity than we can give them. I'd like to offer a venue for people to spend time with their furry friends and meet some others people, too. Hiking with our dogs benefits all of us. We'll try to invite a trainer now and then, and make it fun! See you on the trail. Tail wags and belly rubs, Debbie Barnett
