This Meetup group is for people who don't hike in 'mission mode'. We don't drive through to the finish line, we stop and smell the roses. This is a great group for people who for health reasons need to take it a bit slower, or for people who want to stop and ID plants, or read trail signs, listen to birdsong, take photos, declaim poetry, contemplate color.   One bit of advice: Always check the Meetup site the morning of the hike you've signed up for to see if there are last minute changes.

We are a group of people who want to be part of a community by sharing food, laughter, and fun together! We will meet regularly to have potlucks, hosted at different people’s houses and at parks during the warmer months sometimes. Healthy, sustainable food encouraged (does not have to be vegetarian/vegan). *Another reason why I started this meetup group is because of the fluidity of it.  You can come and go as you please, you don't have to worry about changing your mind last minute if something …

… There are many porta-potties along many hike routes, (thank you City of Portland, ) but of course when nature calls feel free to find run off to heed the call. I encourage silent walking since then you are not slowing down to compensate for the extra work and distraction of talking - but it not mandatory, you can certainly socialize if that is what you like, please respect those who would like to be silent to themselves. I will walk back and forth and periodically ask folks in the group how they …
