Having been in the wine importing business for twenty years, I always looked down on "home made wines" until one of my fellow organizers of the Philadlephia Hiking and Adventure Group proved me wrong by giving me and excellent bottle of red made from California grapes. There is a big difference between "home made wines" the one you think of made by your great uncle and wines made with modern technology and meticulous sanitazation process, which you have decided to make at home for your own consu …

Hiking Around Philly is different from most hiking groups because we hike off the beaten path. We hike in the woods and the city. We go places that won't be found on any hiker's map. The events are usually within a 1.5 hour drive from Philly, though we sometimes visit NYC or the Jersey shore. Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike. And, we do a lot more than hike; …

This is a social meet-up group. All are welcome.  I found that I enjoyed setting up events designed around having fun and enjoying what life has to offer.  I found meetup groups that offered events for singles or  couples or  single parents but not for everyone. Many of my friends are single  while others are couples, some with, and some without kids. So I have designed a group for everyone. If you are single or married, with a family or a single parent, all are welcome to join in our adventures …

I'm starting this group because I can't find a group or car club that suits me. I want to find a group of like minded car enthusiasts that like to get out and drive enthusiastically. I envision both day trips, and 2 - 3 day excursions with a preplanned route. All cars and bikes are welcome! If you're proud of your ride, and like to drive enthusiastically, then join up.

Whatever card we pull at the beginning of the night is the adventure we will then do for the remainder of the night. This is a …
