Adventures by the Book was created for readers and authors who are looking to connect on a more intimate basis than thru a traditional brick & mortar lecture event. Each event is an experience with an author that will transport you to a place and/or time inspired by the featured author, whether it is a local luncheon event in San Diego, a weekend getaway, or travels to exotic destinations around the world.  Come join us to meet some amazing authors and fellow book lovers!

Travel to great locations. Network to learn about great destinations. Find people to travel with. Learn about how to spend less when you travel and find the best restaurants/events/hotspots when you get there from no matter where you are. Share photos and experiences good or bad. Bring your bucket list! Also, lets talk about the most LGBT friendly locations (and support them)!!!!!!

This is a group designed specifically for experienced hikers of age 18 & up who go at a slower than average pace and who are looking for a friendly, non-competitive atmosphere in which to enjoy the outdoors. I generally prefer lesser-traveled, more obscure "off the beaten path" type of areas, so some trips will be off-trail and exploratory, with the potential for some non-technical rock scrambling. Because of the slow pace of hiking, some trips will extend beyond sunset & return to the trailhead …

There are a lot of people in SD County who have ties to the PCT- I was on the Facebook looking at some pictures of PCT'ers in Portland, OR who had a reunion and it got me thinking, "why not here?" In that spirit, I figured it was about time for the local trail community to have a network where we can keep in touch and make plans and do what we oh so covet- BS about the trail. City life is limiting in some capacities and i'll be the first to admit that I don't have as close of a connection with " …
