These mission-to-mission walks are open to all who enjoy nature, art, history. And walking. Though many of the walks are between 16-22 miles, they're set at a reasonable pace and are easy to train for.   Why'd You Start the Group?

I met people from all around the world on the same simple quest - to …

We believe in a caring and nurturing community, where all women are free to be themselves - safe to admit their weaknesses, s …

The vast majority of the mountain is in good shape but the nasties are starting to take hold and move around. Let's stop them before they really get going. Pulling broom is fun oh so fun oh so fun...
