Great Outdoors - San Diego
Pride Hike and Pool Party!
This will be our wrap-up to the pride weekend and we are so excited! San Diego member Bill Stanhope will be leading us on a hike up Mother Miguel and then hosting a pool party and lunch at his lovely home. The views of San Diego on the hike are amazing. Almost all urban San Diego and Tijuana are seen and distant views of Catalina, the Coronado Islands of Mexico, and the mountains of LA can be seen in the distance on a clear day. The hike usually takes 2 ½ hours. Bill will have a giant grilled chicken salad, and will have hamburgers, and other things for people to eat and drink. Participants are encouraged to enjoy the swimming pool for a couple of hours, and then at 3pm or whenever people want to leave, we will say our goodbyes for this pride season.
