    The Hilbert “holds the distinction of being the only museum in the world committed to tracing the rich, iconic history of the Golden State.” Presented are works by leading California artists from the late 1800s to the present.

    One of the highlights is the many pieces from the California Master, Millard Sheets, including the mosaic façade of the museum, “Going to the Beach.” 

    In the 1950s, “Sheets was commissioned by Howard F. Ahmanson to design Home Savings Bank branches throughout Southern California that would serve as community landmarks by expressing "community values" or presenting "a celebratory version of the community history.” To accomplish this goal, Sheets designed his branch buildings with exterior façades containing large mosaic works depicting local heritage. Besides 40 paintings by Sheets in the Hilbert collection his works are shown at major museums such as the Chicago Art Institute, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum, the National Gallery, and the Los Angeles County Museum.

    For those not taking the train other options are:

    • Driving: Park in the Old Towne West parking structure for free at 130 N. Lemon Street, one block east of the museum. The Hilbert Museum also has a small onsite parking lot; spaces are marked with RESERVED HILBERT MUSEUM. Do not park at Streamliner Lounge.

    DESCRIPTION: This will be the first of our bonfires 2024 season. Thanks go to Phil F for bringing supplies and saving the fire ring, Sam Cohen for bringing wood, and Jay & Luciano for handling supplies after May! We're ready for another great season of chilling together by the bay!

    VOLUNTEERS: We could ALWAYS use a couple of volunteers, particularly anyone who can arrive early to secure one of the fire rings. So please let us know if you can lend a hand!  

    WHAT TO BRING:  

     1) Potluck item and a beverage of your choice. (Alcohol is prohibited in Mission Bay Park.)

    Remember, we CAN have too many desserts, but we can never have too many entrees

    and sides. If you have a dessert you're eager to bring, lovely! But if you're on the fence,

    maybe think dinner instead.

     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 firewood are also much appreciated! (CMG will make sure these are covered.)

    4) A significant other, friend, or cuddle buddy (or all three).

    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.)

    Heaven On Earth!

    OCLB Annual Yosemite Trip!


    Orange County/Long Beach

    goes to 

    Yosemite National Park


    Curry Village Canvas Tents

    May 17-20, 2024

    Need we say more?

     Yes we will! We will be heading to Yosemite at the BEST time to visit this illustrious National Park!  The weather will be amazing with the waterfalls at their most dynamic! Our lodging for the 3-night outing will be in Camp Curry, in unheated canvas tents.


    Yosemite is one of the most popular National Parks in the country and we in southern California are very fortunate to have it so close. If you have never seen it then this Great Outdoors trip is a good opportunity for you to be introduced to this special place.

    If you have been there one or more times, then you’ll understand why many have made a Yosemite visit an annual event.  The grandeur and majesty of the park are so enriching that Yosemite can be experienced and enjoyed again and again.  The natural beauty of the park has inspired many for the last 150 years, but perhaps none more effusive than John Muir, who said of Yosemite, “It is by far the grandest of all the special temples of Nature I was ever permitted to enter.” Please join us in this temple of the great outdoors.

    The location of this trip will be Yosemite Valley.  Our accommodations are canvas tents in Camp Curry, a rustic but charming village near the east end of the valley.

    Arrival should be about 4:00 pm on Friday afternoon.

    For both Saturday and Sunday, there will be optional hikes to choose from - one will be strenuous, the other will be easy to moderate.

    On Monday morning we must check out of the cabins by 11:00 am. 

    More details will be announced as we finalize registration.

    Canvas Tents:

    We have secured three canvas tents for our group.  

    Each tent has 3 single beds and a double.  We can max out at 5 people per tent.  We are hoping to get a couple or friends (with benefits or without benefits) to share the double bed.  This way we can max out each tent with 5 people so that we can get as many as possible to experience Yosemite for this excursion.



    Driving & Directions:

    We will review carpooling options once registration is finalized both to save the environment and save on fuel costs.

    What else?

    Cooking facilities/campfire rings are not available in Curry Village. However, there are several dining options near our cabins.

    Such as Pizza & Beer, Cafeteria (with Vegan options!) and of course burgers & fries too. A general store is also open for purchasing food items and other material goods. You may bring snack food and drinks, but all food and scented items must be stored in the bear-proof storage locker in front of the cabin. This includes all food, food related items, toiletries, sundries and ice chests. Bears have a strong sense of smell and are attracted to anything they think will lead them to human food. Remember not to store these items in your vehicle or  canvas tent . It is recommended to use sealed plastic containers for storing your food inside the bear boxes. This makes it easier to keep your food organized, and away from campground critters.

    Showers, sinks and flush toilets are all available to participants.

    Be sure to remember a flashlight or headlamp to find your way around Camp Curry at night. In addition, a sleeping bag (recommended), an extra blanket or a honey bunny may help keep you warm at night.  Other things to bring:

    •Warm outer gear appropriate for snow and/or rain or Shorts and T-shirts for warm days

    •Layered under gear (long underwear, etc.)

    •Hat, gloves, scarf, etc.

    •Sunglasses, sun block (for your face), lip balm 

    •Sturdy hiking shoes 

    State Covid Protocols will be enforced.

    Weather: Average temperatures in May in the Yosemite Valley range from the high 40s/low 50s (night time) to the low-mid 70s during the day. Conditions may vary between sun, clouds, rain, or snow. Be prepared for anything. Expect the unexpected!  

    The trip leader will inform you of the weather conditions a couple days before our arrival but you may also want to keep abreast of them by using the Yosemite National Park website. (Click here.)

    Price: 

    $200 for Great Outdoors members.

    This is a members only event, thus an annual membership ($25) must be purchased prior to signing up for this event.

    If you have a LOUD snoring issue, you should consider not attending so that others will not be affected by the noise.  This is close sleeping quarters.

    Cancellations will be authorized up to 14 days prior to start day of event if a replacement can be found; a $10 cancellation fee will be charged.

    Trip Leader: Lance Whitmier



    Lance states:  Yosemite mesmerized me the very first time I visited the Park in the 90's.  I always brag about the majestic beauty of Yosemite along with it's grandeur and power.  I claim that Yosemite is indeed "my Heaven on Earth" and I can't wait to share the experience with you!"  For those visiting Yosemite for the first time - be prepared to experience a bit of heaven and the surreal!

    Up For a Moderate/Advanced Hike to

    San Gabriel Peak!

    Distance: 8 miles | Elevation gain: 1422 ft

    May 19 - Sunday 8:30 AM



    Join us on Sunday, May 19 at 8:00 am for a challenging moderate hike.


    HIKE RATING

    Just to give you an idea how I rate hikes, here is my scale:

    • Easy: Mostly flat, some slight gentle elevation gain.
    • Moderate: Some elevation gain. Easy trail and fire roads. Not too steep for the most part.
    • Moderate/Advance: Moderate elevation gain. Easy trail. Steep in parts. Some shade.
    • Advanced: A lot of elevation gain across short distances. Some shade. A lot of sun.
    • Advanced/Challenging: Hikes over 8 miles with challenging trails with a lot of elevation gain. Not much shade -- a lot of sun.

    Hiking to the the San Gabriel Peak is a Moderate/Advanced Hike. Although the trail is almost entirely uphill, it is well defined and easy to traverse. It is mostly all switchbacks until we meet up to a fire road (Mt. Disappointment Rd.) that will lead us to another trail head that will take us to the summit. In all, it is a 1,422 foot elevation gain.




    There are plenty of spaces to stop along the way for periods of rests. Luckily, the majority of the trail is very shady to help stay cool. There are steep portions, but you'll be rewarded with amazing views as we traverse the north-east facing mountain looking upon the stretch of the San Gabriel mountain range.




    So, Where Do We Begin?

    Our goal is to meet at the RED BOX Parking area just off the highway on your right.   Red Box is the name of the junction where the Angeles Crest Highway meets the Mt. Wilson-Red Box Road, and the Rincon-Red Box Road.

    After we all arrive, we will carpool to the Bill Reily Trail Head, which is just 1/4 mile away down the road.  We will be starting at 4,743 ft. above sea level.

    Parking is limited, but there appears to be room to stack cars behind other hikers that are in our same group. 




    THE HIKE

    We will be following a well-shaded trail through an oak forest. During the Fall of 2023, there was an inordinate amount of acorns. There were so many littering the trail, that it made it a bit more challenging to walk.

    Please bring walking sticks to help traverse the maze of acorns :-).

    The forest trail will take us up to Mount Disappointment Fire Road. We will have gained 949 feet when we meet the road at 5,692 ft. From here we will turn left onto the fire road and continue for about 0.2 miles where we will catch our second trail head that will take us to the summit San Gabriel Peak -- another 472 feet of elevation that will take us to 6,164 ft.

    On our way to this trailhead, we will be passing the foundation of an old Nike missile site and a clear view of the Mt. Disappointment electronic site. 

    Once we reach the summit, you will be rewarded with a spectacular view of Mount Baldy as well as also looking upon the Mount Wilson Observatory. Not to mention, an expansive view of the San Gabriel valley.

    At the summit we will find plenty of seating on a makeshift bench along with geocache box.

    We will return the same way we came.

  • PS - Hike: Tahquitz Peak via Devil's Slide

    • 6:30 AM - 3:30 PM
    • Idyllwild-Pine Cove, CA
    • 11
    Register


    The hike up to the lookout tower through the San Jacinto Wilderness offers some of the most beautiful vistas in Southern California, including the Salton Sea to the southeast. The origin of Tahquitz's name is derived from the Cahuilla people's god Tahquish, who believe the peak to be the god's home.



    At an elevation of 8,846 feet, this lookout is the highest within the San Bernardino National Forest, and the only one located within a designated Wilderness area. It is also the forest’s longest continuously operated station, serving some 77 years. (information from the USFS)


    Starting from Humber Park in Idyllwild, this hike follows the forested Devil's Slide Trail up steady inclines through some notable damage from last year's rains to Saddle Junction, along the PCT to the spur up to Tahquitz Peak. USFS volunteer willing, we may have the opportunity to visit the opened fire station at the peak.


    We will meet at the Denny's parking lot on the corner of Hwy 111 and Date Palm Dr in Cathedral City and drive to the Forest Service office in Idyllwild for a permit then on to Humber Park. An Adventure Pass or an Interagency Pass (one per car) is required for this location. Bring plenty of water and lunch/snacks, this is a long hike that will take between 5 and 6 hours to complete round trip (plus driving time of an 1hr 15min+ each way to/from Humber Park).


    Description:

    • Meeting place: Denny's Parking Lot, 69050 CA-111, Cathedral City, CA 92234 (MAP)
    • Trail length: 8.3mi
    • Elevation gain/loss: +2,309ft
    • Difficulty rating: moderately strenuous
    • Trip type: out and back
    • Hiking time: 5-6hrs
    • Type: trail
    • Trail route: Devil's Slide trail from Humber Park in Idyllwild to Saddle Junction then the PCT to Tahquitz Peak spur and the fire station; return follows this same route.
    • Terrain: well marked trail of packed earth and some rock with steady incline going through forest followed by a steep, rockier climb in more open sky up to the peak with a bit of minor bouldering at the top around the fire station.


    Bring: Ten Essentials, water (2-3 liters recommended), snacks/lunch, sun protection, layered clothing; hiking poles may be helpful. Carry emergency contact information. Sturdy hiking footwear with good tread.

      LA – GeoTours Morocco

      Great Outdoors LA invites you to Morocco from Nov. 22 to Dec. 2, 2024. This trip is being organized and sponsored though GeoTours, which is an LGBTQ-friendly company that organizes regular tours to places all over the world at very reasonable prices compared to other tour companies. Although not sponsored by Great Outdoors, this is an exclusive GOLA invitation that will be led by our long-time GO member and hike leader Joe Holliday, along with GeoTours. Click here for the trip itinerary and details: https://www.geotours.us/tour/morocco-2024/. Registration closes May 1, 2024.

      Why Morrocco? Although it's a favorite destination for Europeans, many Americans feel unsafe traveling in Arab countries. However, Morocco is considered one of the safest Arab countries in which LGBTQ groups can travel, and it has some of the best scenery and tourism of any region in northern Africa. Therefore, we are inviting this group of travelers to a wonderful place where they may not feel comfortable going individually but can have an “opportunity to learn about life in a different country through immersion into the culture. Seeing something from the outside versus experiencing it from the inside provides two completely different insights into a way of life.” -- Gay Travel in Morocco: An Overview (journeybeyondtravel.com).


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

      It’s important to note that in Morocco homosexual acts are illegal and punishable by prison. Even though this is not always enforced, it’s smart to use street sense and avoid public displays of affection, as this is culturally frowned upon for both opposite and same-sex couples. As in any country, we ask our travelers to respect local customs (hats off in mosques, no kissing in public, etc) and most people will not be hostile. Transgender travelers should be especially aware of potentially abusive behavior, particularly to transgender women, due a lack of education in the country and conservative Muslim values. Please review and consider the additional information provided prior to deciding whether to participate or not:

      · LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index: 203 Countries Ranked in 2023 (asherfergusson.com)

      We plan to donate to local LGBTQ groups in Morocco to help the country's progress toward more equality.

      This is the first of what we hope will be several trips around the world (Iceland, New Zealand, Peru, etc.).
