I'm setting this up initially for those of us who are experienced hikers and looking to do longer hikes with other like-minded LGBT folks.

Here are some great resources to find local hikes. http://midatlantichikes.com/ http://www.hikingupward.com www.Localhikes.com Trails.com (I have a password, ask me) Check other meetup. …

Hi! This 42 year-old lesbian decided to start the new group because she realized that there has to be something else in life besides working and going to the gym. The plan is to do a different activity every month, something that nobody in the group has done before and then move on to the next thing. The activities would be in the DC-VA-MD area and include: spending the morning at a shooting range, taking a trapeze class, checking out the DC Rollergirls, trying out an acting class at the Shakes …
