About us
Unlike most meetup groups, this one does not specialize in any one activity, we will offer opportunities to get out of the house and do something that moves the body, brain, and soul. We encourage all ages, all physical activity levels to get out and enjoy nature. We are not a speed walking group. We are here to enjoy nature, take a picture, stop, and enjoy the view. This could include anything from hiking, backpacking, kayaking/SUP, dancing, live music, caving, ziplining, whitewater rafting, out of state trips etc. We will host a few classes on gear requirements/suggestions for various activities.
So, whether you are new to WI or a native simply looking to widen your horizons, this group will have something fun to offer. We require you to use your real name and a current head shot photo of just you.
We will depend on suggestions and assistance from the group’s members to keep a full schedule of activities on the calendar. Contact me with a date and time and what folks should bring and we will get it posted.
This group is here to encourage each and everyone to try new things, reach new levels of personal growth that you did not think possible.
We will not tolerate bullying, belittling, sexual harassment, or any bad behavior towards members. If this does occur you will be kicked out of the group

Devil’s Lake – Week Night Hike
Location not specified yetSituated along the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, Devil's Lake State Park offers magnificent views from 500-foot quartzite bluffs overlooking a 360-acre lake. Visitors enjoy nearly 30 miles of hiking trails, four miles of off-road bike trails, lakeshore picnic areas, swimming beaches, scuba diving, paddling opportunities, campsites, concession stands, picnic shelters and picnic sites, fishing, hunting, rock climbing and year-round naturalist programs.
There are so many awesome trails to explore here, let’s start doing some after work hikes. They will be either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday night hikes and will range from 3 miles to 7 miles. The starting times will range between either 5:00pm or 5:30pm and usually finish between 7pm and 8pm depending on how long the hike is. Longer hikes will start at the 5:00pm time slot. Nothing too crazy, but just enough to get some exercise in the evenings after work. Eventually we will repeat some trails, but again, this is just to get out and get some exercise during the week.
