The hike/Meeting is very informal - we have a mix of experts an …

Why I decided to start Lovenla: I have had this idea for many years and feel that this is a great place to execute it. The purpose of this group: Lovenla is what I like to think of as where the online community meets offline community in Los Angeles.

Who should join: EVERYONE! Anyone who is looking for a place to me …

I've hiked, camped and backpacked for many years.
