Welcome to the Weekday Trailblazers! Our goal is to combine nature's magnificence, a good workout, and the support and laughter of friends. An observer of one of our early hikes noted that our group is like a mobile party, and we feel that captures our spirit beautifully. All that's missing is you, so get out here with us! The majority of our hikes fall within the area from Malibu to Simi Valley (south to north), and Will Rogers State Park to Port Hueneme (east to west), although we'll venture b …

This group is for all people who realize the Grand Truth that God created mornings for sleeping in, not hiking. I pledge that every hike of ours will begin at an hour that is followed by a well-rested "p.m." Now you no longer have to miss a wonderful hike just because you couldn't drag yourself out of bed to get to the trailhead by 8 a.m.  Our start times will always begin between the hours of noon and midnight. All members can suggest and organize a hike. Disclaimer: This is Southern California …

I've hiked, camped and backpacked for many years. One day while hiking with a group, I heard people talking about some local hot springs, and it sounded interesting so I wanted to find out more.  Long story short, within a few years, I've gone to most of the hot springs in Southern California and many up north as well. Hot springs are special places.  They truly do have medicinal and stress relieving properties.  If you have any silver jewelry you will see the healing mineral content of the wate …

Let's deepen our experience of walking in the Santa Monica Mountains and being with others through silent, mindful walking meditation on the way out or up. And friendly talking, chatting, and yakking on the way down. Walking quietly in a group can be a powerful support for mindfulness. And being mindful while walking in nature--mindful of our steps, our bodies, our thoughts and feelings, or mindful of the nature around us--is a wonderful way to build and integrate awareness of our selves and the …

OkCupid.com is a free dating site, but it's also a great tool for finding like-minded people. Its algorithm displays a match percentage from 0 to 100 in 3 vectors: Match, Friend, Enemy.

I created this group to create a tribe of like-minded people for social interaction, friendship & intentional community. (It's also ok to use this group as a dating pool, but its primary …
