I've been hiking and meeting people in central Maryland, DC and Virginia. Travelling to meet with people or to the trail head have been a challenge for me and I think, for many others who live in the northern part of Maryland. I am organizing this meetup as a mean to meet with people in the area who have the love for hiking and being active. We can have our own events, hiking local parks or we can carpool to join other groups. Beside hiking, we can have plans for travel, camping or skiing. …

If a fun, not so serious outdoor adventure/challenge with no expectations might clear your mind, pick a treasure that sounds enticing enough to look for. Something like a waterfall or diamonds(?) or some salamanders, maybe an artifact, or just a good time.  It could be a good way to get out and have a nice change.  You might bring pets, cameras, journals, etc.  Even if you don't want to join, I could use suggestions for the adventures.
