  • PS - America's Public Lands - Online Presentation

    • Tue, August 11, 2026
    • 7:00 PM
    • Zoom Online

    The History and Future of America's Public Lands

    America’s public lands are a national treasure—unique in the world and owned by all Americans. We invite you to a special shared viewing of a recorded 60‑minute presentation by Walt Dabney, retired National Park Service and Texas State Parks Director. Walt’s presentation offers one of the most accurate and accessible explanations of how America’s public lands came to be, why they are concentrated in the West, and why they remain essential to our national identity and future.

    What the presentation covers

    • Origin story of public lands
    • The U.S. Constitution and federal land authority
    • Statehood acts, state constitutions, and land retention
    • How public lands became privately owned
    • Why most public lands are in the West

    Following the viewing, we will host an interactive discussion and Q&A. The session includes professional photography and video showcasing some of America’s most extraordinary landscapes—national parks, forests, monuments, rivers, wildlife refuges, and Bureau of Land Management lands.

    Why this matters

    America’s public lands are facing increasing pressure from proposals to transfer federal lands to state ownership, a move that would make them far more vulnerable to sale, privatization, and restricted public access. Although most public lands are located in the West, they belong to all Americans, regardless of where they live.

    This session is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the places we share, the laws that protect them, and the threats they face today.

    Zoom link and passcode will be included in your confirmation and reminder emails.

    SB/VC - After-Work Hike @ Ventura Hills Nature Preserve

    As the golden hour descends upon the coast, it’s time to lace up those boots and experience the Ventura Hills Nature Preserve like never before. With the park now officially open as of January 2026, we have a front-row seat to the rolling vistas and crisp spring air that make our backyard so spectacular. There is nothing quite like watching the sky transform into a canvas of amber and violet from the highest ridgelines, and we want you there to share the view.

    Join the crew on Thursday, August 13, for a moderate trek timed perfectly to catch the sun dipping low over the Pacific. It’s the perfect mid-week reset—fresh air, great company, and the kind of panoramic views that remind us why we love this area. Whether you’re a seasoned trailblazer or just looking for a scenic stroll to end your day, grab your gear and let’s make some memories under the soft evening sunlight.


    Parking is in the parking lot off Hall Road (address below). We will meet at the trailhead. We will start promptly at 5:30pm so don’t be late, or else catch up with us on the trail if you want. We must be out of the lot by sundown.

    Distance: 3 miles

    Elevation Gain: 802 feet

    We’ll be setting up camp at Duck Creek Campground, a peaceful hideaway nestled in the Dixie National Forest near Cedar City—just 450 miles east of LA. You’ll be surrounded by groves of aspen and Douglas fir, with ancient ponderosa pines (some over 500 years old!) standing tall all around you. 

    There are hiking trails right from camp,Duck Creek Pond and Navajo lake nearby if you feel like casting a line, renting a boat or just kicking back. One day, we’ll hit the trails at Cedar Breaks National Monument—a jaw-dropping natural amphitheater—on a scenic hike along the South Rim Trail (note: there’s a $15–$25 fee per vehicle to enter). We’ll also explore the Mammoth Lava Caves, a wild formation from Utah’s volcanic past. 

    And if that’s not enough? Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks are just about an hour away. If you forget something or need supplies, Duck Creek Village is just down the road with shops, firewood, and a few local eats. 

    So….Let’s get outside, breathe in that mountain air, and make some memories! 

    Details: 

    We have reserved campsites 087,089, 090(Loop D) 

    We are allowed one vehicle per site, however there is overflow parking which is about ¼ mile away at the visitor’s center. We may be able to park a few more vehicles at the campsite but that will be figured out when you get there. There is a fee for overflow vehicles in camp which the driver will be reimbursed. 

    Sorry because of the limited space, this is tent camping only. 

    There are no showers so bring your solar shower, however, Pine Wood resorts, which is in Duck Creek Village,offer showers if availability permits, $10/person. 

    Campground amenities include flush toilets, fire rings, picnic tables and potable water. 

    Make sure to bring firewood and buy it locally as they are discouraging firewood brought in from outside the area due to exotic pest infestation.

     2) A beach chair if you'd like to sit. Bonus points if you bring a spare for others to use!

     3) A serving utensil if your dish needs one. A portable table, paper plates, cups, utensils, napkins or extra firewood are also much appreciated!

    4) A significant other, friend, or cuddle buddy.

    DIRECTIONS: Take the I-8 freeway west toward Mission Bay, exit onto Mission Bay Drive and make a right, then merge into the far-left hand lane onto Ingraham Street, heading North, then make a left onto Vacation Rd as if you were heading into Paradise Point Resort (previously Pacific Princess Resort). Then an immediate Right before entering the resort to get to the side parking lot. We’ll be on the left (West) side of parking lot by the rest rooms. (Note: we're on the WEST side of Ingraham St. Don't confuse this spot with a similar one on the east side of the street.)

    Please note: The two fire rings adjacent to the parking lot may be occupied by other groups. If that happens, keep walking up to the right, under the bridge, and we'll be at the first fire ring we can find.

    California Men’s Gatherings fosters a safe, supportive, welcoming community where men challenge themselves to develop their emotional, spiritual, social, intellectual and physical lives—with as much fun as possible along the way!

Since 1978, CMG has been a place where all men—gay, bi, trans, and straight—from 18-80+ can find a different way to connect. Men who come to CMG events and gatherings are predominately gay and bisexual, but all persons identifying as male, 18 years or older are welcome. Visit http://thecmg.org for more information.

    Easy Evening Walk at Fairview & Talbert Parks in Costa Mesa

    Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 5:00 PM

    Please join us a repeat of an EASY 4-mile EVENING walk in Costa Mesa!

    This walk was suggested by longtime GO members and Costa Mesa residents Tod and Craig Beckett-Frank.



    Fairview Park is the City’s largest park, hosting 195 acres of open space – natural area, and 13 acres of manicured landscape for a total of 208 acres. Within the 195 acres of open space there are two Nationally Registered Cultural Resource Historic Sites and five distinct habitat ecosystems which are home to many rare and endangered plant and animal species.




    Talbert Regional Park is located North and South of Victoria Street in Costa Mesa between Pacific Avenue and the Santa Ana River. North Talbert consists of 91.5 acres and South Talbert is approximately 88.5 acres.

    The park is divided into six separate plant groups, identified as "zones" and based upon the progression of plant groups and changing conditions found along the Santa Ana River. The first zone is designated "Intensive Use Area" and the plant material has been selected based on use instead of its origins on the site. The second zone, a "Border Planting" zone is planted with vegetation designed to maintain boundaries and screen the embankment of the Greenville-Banning Channel.




    Another zone, the "Coastal Strand" consists of gentle slopes and dunes, a habitat largely destroyed by the advance of civilization in the area. The "Native Grassland" zone is the largest zone in the park and provides opportunities for wildlife habitats. An "Alluvial Woodland" zone contains a wide variety of plant and animal life and is the most secluded area in the park. Finally, the "Wetland Zone" consists of the southern 14.8 acres of the park and contains elements of riparian woodland and mulefat scrub.




    Let's meet at 5:00 PM at the end of the parking lot (near the restrooms)

    Fairview Park

    2525 Placentia Avenue

    Costa Mesa


    Bring

    Water,  sunscreen and hat.


    Optional

    If anyone is interested, we can have dinner at Avila's El Ranchito after the walk.  I estimate that we will burn about 626 calories on the hike which should almost cover two tacos and a light beer! 

    Avila's El Ranchito

      SB/VC - After-Work Hike @ Ventura Hills Nature Preserve

      As the golden hour descends upon the coast, it’s time to lace up those boots and experience the Ventura Hills Nature Preserve like never before. With the park now officially open as of January 2026, we have a front-row seat to the rolling vistas and crisp spring air that make our backyard so spectacular. There is nothing quite like watching the sky transform into a canvas of amber and violet from the highest ridgelines, and we want you there to share the view.

      Join the crew on Thursday, August 27, for a moderate trek timed perfectly to catch the sun dipping low over the Pacific. It’s the perfect mid-week reset—fresh air, great company, and the kind of panoramic views that remind us why we love this area. Whether you’re a seasoned trailblazer or just looking for a scenic stroll to end your day, grab your gear and let’s make some memories under the soft evening sunlight.


      Parking is in the parking lot off Hall Road (address below). We will meet at the trailhead. We will start promptly at 5:30pm so don’t be late, or else catch up with us on the trail if you want. We must be out of the lot by sundown.  

      Parking: 2805 Hall Canyon Rd, Ventura (Behind Ventura H.S.)

      Distance: 3 miles

      Elevation Gain: 802 feet

      Estimated time: 120 minutes

      Grunion Run at Bolsa Chica State Beach

      Saturday, August 29, 2026 at 10:30 PM

      Grunion are small, silvery marine fish that come completely out of the water to spawn on the sand during the high tides after the new and full moon.

      These fish are only found along the Southern California and Baja California coastlines; therefore, witnessing them “dancing” on the sand is truly a California experience. Unfortunately, since the highest tides usually occur after beach curfews, it is very hard to watch this natural phenomenon on your own.

      Bolsa Chica State Beach offers a guided program that allows registered participants to safely park and watch the grunion run. State park staff will give visitors a short, educational program on the grunion before heading out on the sand to observe the fascinating mating ritual of these fish and enjoy s’mores by a complementary bonfire.

      The Grunion Run takes place at Bolsa Chica State Beach during the hours of 10:30pm-12:30am.

      You will be emailed instructions the week of the event on how to access the park and meet up for the guided experience.


      The Great Outdoors LA Chapter did a Grunion Run event all the way back in July of 1995!  I was there!  This is a link to the original event flyer:

      1995 Grunion Run Flyer


      REMINDER: During the open season, a California fishing license is required for persons 16 years and older. Grunion may be taken by hand only. No holes may be dug in the beach to entrap them. The daily bag and possession limit for grunion is 30 fish.

      If you have any questions about this event, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Event Leader.

       Join us for a relaxing getaway to one of California's most spectacular coastal campgrounds!


      Nestled along the rugged shoreline about an hour west of Santa Barbara, Jalama Beach offers a rare opportunity to unplug, unwind, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Central Coast. Early September is one of the best times to visit. The summer crowds have begun to thin, while the days remain warm and sunny with cool, comfortable evenings perfect for gathering around a campfire. Wake up to the sound of crashing waves, take a leisurely stroll along miles of sandy beach, search for shells and driftwood, or simply sit back and watch pelicans, dolphins, and perhaps even migrating whales offshore.

      No visit to Jalama is complete without trying the legendary Jalama Burger at the campground's beachfront store and grill—a favorite among campers and day visitors alike. The camp store also carries groceries, camping essentials, ice, firewood, and other necessities, making it easy to settle in and enjoy your stay. Evenings are magical at Jalama. As the sun sinks into the Pacific, the sky often explodes into brilliant shades of orange, pink, and purple before giving way to a canopy of stars rarely seen from the city. It's the perfect setting for happy hour, shared meals, campfire stories, and great conversation with your Great Outdoor friends old and new. Whether you're looking for peaceful solitude, outdoor adventure, or simply a weekend of good company in an unforgettable setting, Jalama Beach is the perfect destination. Pack your camping gear, bring your favorite beach chair, and come enjoy one of California's hidden coastal treasures with us!

      Cost: $100 for drivers or $80 for passengers.

      • Virtual

      Great Outdoors: The Beginning of the Queer Outdoors Recreation Movement

      Saturday Oct. 10th, 2026 at 10am via Zoom 

      The Beginning of the Queer Outdoors Recreation Movement is a presentation by California Great Outdoors journeying through the decades of the queer outdoors recreation movement, with the SoCal outdoors LGBT+ community being at the heart of the movement. Great Outdoors is the longest running queer outdoors organization in the United States with a rich history. We will travel through the decades, starting from when Great Outdoors was ideated in 1977 by founders Greg Carmack and Paul Breton to today’s thriving national and global queer outdoors recreation movement.

      Join Great Outdoors Archivist Tyler Roosden as they set the stage with a historical account of The Beginning of the Queer Outdoors Recreation Movement through the archives of California Great Outdoors, ultimately culminating into a modern Leadership Studies approach to creating queer belonging in community. Our program will discuss themes like culture, technology, pride, recognition, and core values. Specific topics will include leadership training, awards programming, event planning, organizational design, gender equity, language, global pandemics, arts, access, and community collaboration. Our history is highlighted by the stories of BIPOC and queer trail blazers including volunteer-members Patrick McCollum, Darlene Bjork, Mack Gerighty, Dixie Paradise, Greg Carmack, Rowena Muldavin, Paul Breton, and Jamie Charles.

      The virtual presentation, including 30 minute Q&A, will take place on Saturday October 10th from 10:00am to 11:30am PT.

      This project was made possible thanks to the Lambda Archives of San Diego staff and ongoing archival support of ONE Archives at the USC Libraries (California Great Outdoors’ official archives).

        • The weather in Egypt in November is warm, 75- 85F in the day, 55-60F at night. Egypt gets almost no rain.
        • Egyptians are friendly but sometimes aggressive salespeople (they figure they have 10 seconds to get your attention as you walk past their shops). They drive a hard bargain and prices are rarely labeled. Travelers need to learn to bargain effectively.
        • Poverty and litter are sometimes shocking and depressing.

        TRAVEL INSURANCE

        Although not required, GeoTours and GO strongly recommends that trip participants purchase travel insurance.

        • GeoTours has partnered with Generali Global Assistance (GGA), a well-established provider of travel insurance. You can use this GeoTours-Generali link, and the premium will be the same as going straight to the Generali site.
        • GGA’s ESSENTIAL policy covers Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, Medical Evacuation, Medical costs, and Lost/Stolen Baggage. Trip Cancellation coverage means that travel insurance will reimburse non-refundable trip costs if you cancel for a covered reason. Cancellation coverage only works if you purchase the insurance BEFORE a sickness or injury forces you to cancel, and an insurance claim requires a physician’s written advice that you should cancel your trip due to your illness or injury.
        • GGA's ESSENTIAL coverage costs about $250 for a 60-year-old, $3900 trip cost (airfare + GeoTours price), November 13 – 24, 2026. Cost depends on age and is less for younger travelers, more for older travelers.
        • You can also compare travel insurance policies from other providers at squaremouth.com.
        • If you travel frequently, you should consider an annual policy from Allianz.

        CANCELLATION POLICY

        To cancel your participation, you must inform GeoTours in writing or by email. Cancellation date is the date when GeoTours receives your written notice.

        *Cancellation penalty is the amount shown below PLUS any non-recoverable expenses already paid on behalf of the passenger, such as non-refundable tickets or hotel rooms.

        Personal Considerations & Safety: 

        While several LGBTQ groups visit Egypt every year with no problems, all participants will need to understand and acknowledge the following cultural notes to ensure the group's safety:

        Egypt is generally not considered safe for openly LGBTQ+ travelers due to conservative social norms, lack of legal protections, and potential persecution under "morality" laws, with arrests and hostility possible, so extreme discretion, avoiding PDA and dressing modestly are crucial for those who choose to visit.

        Key Considerations for LGBTQ+ Travelers:

        • Legal Situation: 

          Homosexuality isn't explicitly outlawed, but "debauchery" and "public morals" laws are used to prosecute LGBTQ+ individuals, with severe penalties like long prison sentences.

        • Social Environment: 

          Public attitudes are conservative, and while some tourists have positive experiences, hostility and potential violence are risks.

        • Discretion is Key: 

          Avoid all public displays of affection (PDA), even for straight couples, and don't wear LGBTQ+ symbols like rainbow attire.

        • Safety in Numbers: 

          Group tours and reputable tour operators (some specifically LGBTQ+-focused) offer better safety and navigation than solo travel.

        • Accommodation: 

          Staying in larger, international hotel chains (Marriott, Hilton) can offer more anonymity than smaller places.

        • Online & Apps: 

          Use extreme caution with social media apps like Grindr.

        • Gender Non-Conformity: 

          Transgender individuals may face scrutiny; binding for FTM individuals is suggested to avoid unwanted attention.

        Tips for a Safer Trip:

        • Dress modestly: Blend in by adhering to local cultural norms.
        • Be discreet: Don't openly discuss your sexuality or gender identity.
        • Consider a fake ring: Wearing a fake wedding/engagement ring can deflect unwanted questions from locals.
        • Stay aware: Be mindful of your surroundings, especially in less touristy areas or at night.

        While many travelers report successful trips by taking precautions, the risk of legal trouble or harassment exists, making it essential to prioritize safety and cultural sensitivity.


        This is simply a notice and if you are interested please list your name on this GO registration.   When GeoTour's registration opens you will be sent a link for registration.

        You must register DIRECTLY on the GeoTours website/link if you intend to partake in this tour; GeoTours will handle EVERYTHING, payments, room assignments, administration of the tour, etc.

        • Dos Picos County Park Trip Notes

          Dos Picos County Park is located in Ramona, California. Its name is Spanish for "two peaks," derived from the two prominent mountains nearby. The surrounding ranch land and steep rocky slopes help preserve its secluded atmosphere.

          This park is known for its magnificent Oak trees.  The landscape is a mixture of chaparral, open grassland, and oak woodland. Coyote, fox, possum, skunk, and raccoon are all seen in the park regularly.

          The city of Ramona is minutes away when driving.  You may purchase food and other supplies there.

          Maximum RV length is 40 feet.  All sites have E/W. Several sites will be dedicated as tent sites.  These sites can have three tents, max and two cars.  The water spigots at these sites are unique.  It is housed in a plastic box that sits below ground level.  

          Tent campers, all the sites are gravel.   Your tent will likely be pitched on gravel.  Please bring blow-up mattresses or cots to sleep on, so you are not sleeping on gravel.  Tents should also bring extension cords. 

          At each site there is room for an RV and tow vehicle, or two vehicles.  Extra vehicles can park in the overflow lot for a total of $9, which is paid by GOPS.  The overflow parking lot is NOT close.  It’s located on the opposite side of the campground from our sites, so car camping would NOT be a good choice, please bring a tent.

          Leashed dogs are welcome at $1/night/dog.  Campers will pay for their own dogs upon check-in at the campground. 

          Sites 63 & 69 are ADA sites.  If you have an ADA placard, please let the trip leader know.   

          We will have access to the indoor pavilion and its outdoor picnic area.  It is located in the middle of all our sites.  There is a massive fire pit. The use of that pavilion and its outdoor space was an additional cost that was figured into the cost of this campout.  Typical weather in this area in November is high 73, low 42.

          Cancellation policy: cancel for full refund minus a $10 fees on or before Nov 10th, 2024.
