    SB/VC - Sunset 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, March 26, for a moderate trek timed perfectly to catch the sun dipping below 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 fading light.


    Parking is in the parking lot off Hall Road (address below). We must be out of the lot by sundown so our vehicles don’t get locked inside. We will meet at the trailhead. We will start promptly at 5:15pm so don’t be late, or else catch up with us on the trail if you want.

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

    Distance: 2 - 3 miles

    Elevation Gain: 802 feet

    Estimated time: 120 minutes

    Bring: Headlamp (just in case), water, jacket, snack

    In Man in an Orange Shirt two entwined yet separate stories illustrate the very different challenges to happiness for two gay couples in England -- Michael and Thomas in the aftermath of World War II and Adam and Steve in the present day. Although they are set decades apart, the two stories are linked by family and a painting that holds a secret that is carried down from one generation to the next. Scripted by best-selling novelist Patrick Gale, the program features Vanessa Redgrave as a grandmother struggling with her relationship with her gay grandson.


    Come indoors for a fun-filled Great Outdoors movie night!  Bring your favorite dish to share, and settle in for a night of good food, good film, and great company.  BYOB.  (Please bring only light-colored beverages -- no red wine or cranberry juice, i.e. nothing dark that might stain furnishings.)

    Space is limited; registration is required. The movie night location address will be sent to all registered attendees.

    Date: Friday, March 27

    Point Dume to Paradise Cove Café

    When: March 28, 2026, 11:00 AM 

    Please arrive on time. The hike must begin right at 11:00 AM because it is planned  for the low tide. 

    Join us for an exciting coastal hike. We begin at Westward Beach, over Point Dume, down approximately 200 stairs to the sand, and proceed to Paradise Cove Beach Café for lunch. Our hike is along the base of sea cliffs and is only possible during very low tides. This is an exciting Malibu experience, combining breathtaking coastal scenery with a beachside cafe frequented by celebrities. We will have plenty of stops to look for whales, dolphins, and sea lions. When looking at the tide pools please do not touch any of the animals, actually it is against the law, and be extra careful where you step.

    The return may have to be on top of the bluff, through the ritzy, star-studded neighborhoods but preferably along the sand and back up the stairs.

    When: March 28, 2026, 11:00 AM 

    Directions: Westward Beach Parking Lot, Pacific Coast Highway to the end of Westward Beach Road

    Meeting point: Drive to the end of Westward Beach Rd. and park, $8.00. We will meet at the end of the parking lot just beyond the restrooms.

    Hiking Distance: ~5 miles total

    Difficulty: Moderate, lengthy stairs,  beach walking on sand and rocks and a short hike up and over Point Dume.

    Bring: Water, Snacks, Beach friendly shoes with grip for stairs, hat/sunscreen, towel or beach gear if you’re hanging after the hike, binoculars

    Brunch: Paradise Cove Café  Credit cards accepted.

    Wrap-up: 2-3PM

    Optional: Hang out on the beach afterward! ️

    Low tide timing looks perfect!  We should have a smooth walk in the coves and around the points—just be prepared for a little bit of sea spray and beachy fun.

    Can’t wait to have this adventure with you all!

    Registration is free but required.  Participants must have registered to sign the mandatory liability release for which is part of the online registration process.

    If you register and then cannot go, please be respectful of others who wish to go by canceling your registration online ASAP to open up spaces. 

    If you have additional questions about this event, please email the trip leader at the address shown below.

    Point Dume to the beach below these cliffs.


    These stairs were completed in mid 2022 for a cost of 3.3 million.  Don’t be intimidated, we will take it slow.

    Looking back to Westward Beach from Point Dume.  A west facing beach is unusual in Malibu as most face south.  Zuma is next beach faintly seen in the distance.

    Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner loved Paradise Cove and spent their honeymoon on their yacht in the cove. Perhaps we will see a current member of the glitterati.


    A very low tide is required to do this hike. There are few opportunities of such a very low tide happening each year.

    In the spring this prehistoric looking plant, the coreopsis, comes alive and is covered with beautiful yellow flowers. It only grows near Point Dume and a couple of points on the Channel Islands. Let’s protect it and other species by staying on the trails.

    The Resource Fair during Trans Day of Visibility will be a time to celebrate the lives and existence of the transgender and gender-expansive community in Long Beach!


    What Is TDOV?

    Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) is on March 31st annually because activist Rachel Crandall created it in 2009 to celebrate living trans people, contrasting with the mournful Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), and chose a spring date far from TDOR (November) and Pride Month (June) for balance.

    It's a day to honor trans and gender non-conforming people's achievements and raise awareness about the discrimination and violence they still face, with the goal of promoting acceptance and celebrating their lives. 

    What Could I Do To Help Out?

    JUST SHOW UP TO SAY HI!   STAY AND GREET THOSE WHO STOP AT OUR TABLE.  

    GOOCLB will have a table and will be greeting enthusiast of The Great Outdoors.  We hope that we will encourage visitors to our table to join our chapter, or at least take a card to share it with someone from the LGBTQIA+ community who would benefit from learning about us.

    If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Robert, Lance or Richard.  We will be there and hope to see you their as well.

    The Palm Springs Art Museum recently opened a LGBTQ+ themed  permanent gallery — the only one of its kind in the nation. This dedicated space was created to explore themes that emerge when you see works by multiple queer artists together. It becomes much easier to understand the range and complexity of a queer perspective in art when you can look at a collection rather than individual pieces, especially when explained by a trained museum docent. Although the museum will soon begin offering public tours of this gallery, they will be first come, first served and not reservable in advance.

    Join us for a private docent-led tour of this gallery at a very special price. The usual $500 private docent tour fee has been waived, and museum admission for non-members has been reduced from the regular $25 charge. (Admission is free for museum members.) After the tour, participants are welcome to explore the rest of the museum including LIVS, the restaurant in the sculpture garden, run by the same chef as Bar Cecil. If you would like to be included in the optional group lunch reservation, please indicate this when you register.  LIVS will seat us in 4 tables of six, every 15 minutes, until we are all seated.  

    Due to museum requirements, the last day to register for the tour OR cancel registration is March 27 (if space is still available).

    Allow time to arrive at the museum, park, and enter the building by 10:15 AM.

        Description:  Lost Horse Loop Trail is a 6.8 mile trail located in Joshua Tree National Park just off the Keys View Road.  The trail follows the remains of the old service road for the mine which is located about 1.5 miles from the trailhead at elevation 4600-5120 feet.  The mine, over 100 years old, is one of the best preserved and was one of the most productive mines in Joshua Tree having produced 10,000 ounces of gold and 16,000 ounces of silver between the years of 1894 and 1931. 


        Lost Horse Mine was discovered by Johnny Lang while either looking for one of his lost horses or a stolen horse whose tracks took him to the Lost Horse Valley and the camp of Jim McHaney with his gang of cattle rustlers and horse thieves.  After being told he did not lose a horse, Johnny Lang left and on his way back ran into “Dutch” Frank Diebold. After being shown a piece of ore, Johnny bought the rights to the mine for $1,000 from “Dutch.” After a number of partners, Johnny was eventually forced to sell his share of the mine after his main partner, J.D. Ryan, hired a detective who caught him stealing. Johnny didn’t go too far and settled in the next canyon near the mine now named Johnny Long Canyon. In 1925, Johnny left a note on his cabin door saying he had left for food and bedded down for the night at the entrance to the canyon not too far from the mine. He died that night and was not found until two months later by Bill Keys, owner of the Keys View Ranch. After reporting his death to the county coroner, Mr. Keys buried Johnny where he was found near the Keys View Road just at the turn to the Lost Horse Mine parking area.

        Mexico’s Best Beaches. And More.

        We are excited!  Are you?

        Explore the Pacific’s most alluring beaches and cities, including a late-night stay in gay-friendly Puerto Vallarta with plenty of time to enjoy the city’s incomparable nightlife and beach culture. Take a tour to the sensational vineyards of Baja California or just relax on a perfect beach during our first-ever visit to Ensenada.

        Dive, fish, or snorkel in beautiful Cabo San Lucas, or explore a nearby uninhabited beach. Discover the best of authentic Mexico in the charming city of Mazatlan, a remarkable beachfront metropolis.

        With three fantastically fun days at sea, you’ll have plenty of time to explore the myriad activities onboard with more ways to play than ever. Indulge in Virgin’s sensuous spa, take in a fitness class, relax by the pool with new friends, or just watch the ocean from your hammock. Join some of our zany activities, and don’t miss our legendary T-dances!


        Everything Included. For Nothing.

        Nobody likes paying for things they use all the time, like Wifi, basic beverages, and a terrific place for dinner. So, we don’t charge extra for them. Ever. Even fitness classes are included! Logon, drink up, spin a little, and enjoy!

        Every fabulously original restaurant is included with more choices than any other ship at sea. All you need to do is decide whether to indulge in fresh Italian at Extra Virgin, Korean BBQ at Gumbae, an inventive tasting menu at the Test Kitchen, brunch or steak at the Wake, all-day treats at Razzle Dazzle, and so much more. And there’s no buffet in sight. Or a massive banquet-like main hall. But who needs one with all these amazing spots?

        Oh, and by basic beverages we mean sodas, water, coffees, juices, and most non-alcoholic offerings. The hard stuff is, of course, extra.

        Hawaii Big Island Day Hikes

        Tues 4/28/26 and Thu 4/30/26

        Hawaii is full of attractions that are unlike anything else in the world, but even among these unique wonders, Hawaii’s volcanoes stand out as truly remarkable. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii protects some of these natural marvels, including two of the world's largest and most active volcanoes.

        Come join me for day hikes at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and on the Big Island of Hawaii to experience stunning landscapes created by these volcanoes.

        Registration: Limited to Great Outdoors members

        Day Hike: Tue. Apr. 28th, 2026 at 9 am- Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

        Day Hike: Thu. Apr. 30th, 2026 at 9 am- Big Island Hawaii, local trail. Location TBA.

        Transportation & Lodging: Air, ground transportation, lodging, meals, fuel, and travel costs on the Big Island of Hawaii is the responsibility of each member. It is strongly recommended that members purchase travel insurance to insure their trip costs in the event of cancellation or interruption. 

        Fees: Day hikes are FREE.  There is a vehicle entrance fee of $30 to enter Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.  A valid national park pass waives the entrance fee. There may be parking and entrance fees charged at the trailhead of a local hiking trail on the Big Island.

        What to Bring: Day Pack with Ten Essentials. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and rain protection. Pack a lunch, snacks, and water.

        Important information

        Great Outdoors is not arranging air, ground transportation, or lodging for members on the Big Island of Hawaii. 

        Register- Please RSVP for a day hike so I know who is coming.

        I will email attendees with essential details such as trailhead location, parking, and hike mileage and elevation gain for each day hike up to two weeks before the event. 

        I am visiting the Big Island of Hawaii the week of 4/26 to 5/03/26 and inviting other Great Outdoors members to join me on day hikes on Tuesday 4/28 and Thursday 4/30/26.

        I am staying in Kailua-Kona, so if you are also visiting the Big Island of Hawaii during the last week of April 2026, reach out and let’s meet up.



        Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

        Climate- In late April, the climate on the Big Island of Hawaii is generally pleasant, with daytime temperatures averaging in the high 70’s to low 80’s F and evening temperatures dropping into the 60’s F.  This month marks the end of the rainy season, so you can expect fewer rain showers, although it’s still possible to experience some rain, especially at night.

        Questions?

        Email Michael at [email protected]

        Disclosure- I do not respond to emails immediately due to my non-traditional work schedule. I will respond to emails about this event on my days off.

        A Forgotten Oasis Overlooking the Coachella Valley










         Lost Creek Canyon Ranch

        Experience this remote canyon, 400 acre sanctuary  with ecological and historical wonders that has long been closed to the public-----until now.

        A "step back in time" to a 150-year-old homestead. Set into the foothills of the Coachella Valley, this is not your grandaddy's ranch. This ground has played host to Native Americans for more than a thousand years before the arrival of European settlers in the mid-19th century. 

        The first permanent dwelling in the valley was built here in 1876 by the Stubbes. They operated a stagecoach stop and provided "bordello comforts" for weary travelers headed toward the coast.

        If these hills could talk, they would speak of subsequent owners that include a hermit named Herman, a world-famous business executive turned architect, and a pioneering cancer researcher.

        The current owners have spent five years bringing this unique property back to life, preserving a spectacular range of flora, fauna, and vistas found nowhere else and home to a variety of animal rescues.

        Itinerary Details

        Guided Exploration: A 5-hour immersive tour of the historic structures, hidden streams, and lush orchards. 

        Physicality: Expect light hiking with some terrain changes. Off-road vehicle transport will be utilized to tour the property.

        Breakfast: Catered by Cornerstone Barbecue. 

        Exclusivity: This is a rare opportunity to step onto ground that was previously off-limits to the general public.

        Cost: $215.50 per person (all‑inclusive).

        Payment Process

        After you submit your registration information with Great Outdoors here, you will receive a confirmation email. Open the email and click the payment link provided. This link will take you directly to the Lost Creek Ranch website to complete your payment.

        Select April 30 at 7:00 AM as your reservation time.

        Available to nonmembers and guests.

        Meeting Locations:

        6:10 am Meet at Palm Springs PetSmart Ramon/Crossley Map for 6:15 am departure. Or meet at the gate at the entrance to the Ranch at 6:55 am. (Haugen-Lehmann exit north from I-10): map click here

        Carpooling is encouraged and may be available if offered by driver.  You are responsible for arranging your own transportation or ride share. 

        Requirements: Closed-toe shoes are mandatory for safety around the animals and uneven terrain.

        goes to 

        Yosemite National Park

        Curry Village Canvas Tents

        May 15-18, 2026

        Need we say more?

         Yes we will! 

        Spring in Yosemite can't be beat!

        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.

        These events get sold out to capacity each year!

        Do NOT hesitate to book as soon as possible as we expect this event to be SOLD OUT again!


        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.

        Pictured above:  Richard, Mike and Claudia half way up to the top of upper Yosemite Falls, this photo is at the top of lower Yosemite Falls.

        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 each day to choose from - one will be strenuous, the other will be easy.  Or simply visit the galleries, stores, bike ride, museums and/or stroll in the valley floor!


        Pictured above:  We are hitting the Panorama Trail that will put us back to Yosemite Valley - 8 Miles.  Yippee!

        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 four 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.

        If you want to be in the same tent with another member please note that on the registration.

        If you prefer sharing a double cot with someone please note that on the registration and who the person is so we match you with the correct person.

        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.




         Driving & Directions:

        While GO is not authorized to be directly involved in coordinating carpools, we highly recommend our members to consider carpooling!

        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.

        And of course, there is the option of having some fine dining at the Awahnee!


        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

        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!

        USC ONE Archives Visit

        Saturday Aug 1, 2026 at 10am sharp

        World's largest LGBTQIA+ archive reopens - Daily Trojan

        Join us to learn about the history of Great Outdoors from when we began in 1978 to today, including our founders and historical chapters across California and beyond! 


        Day of Schedule: 

        10:00am USC One Archive Visit

        12:00pm Lunch (on own or as group)

        11:30am Urban Walk through USC Campus (1.1 miles, ~30min)

        12:15pm Enter Exhibition as Group, brief Exhibition Discussion (pending Archive confirmation)

        12:30pm Explore PST ART: Art and Science Collide Exhibition

        Potential Urban Walk Information: This hike from the ONE Archive at USC to the USC Fisher Museum of Art is 1.1 miles through the campus. This urban walk is expected to take 30mins at a generous pace. Confirmation closer to date to come.


        Parking: USC's ONE Archive has a free private parking lot, so anyone coming directly to the archive will be fine. If you plan to park at the archive, and walk to and back from the exhibition on campus, there shouldn't be a problem with parking. If anyone is planning to park near the exhibition on campus following the archive visit, however, that would likely be rather difficult and expensive.

        Note: There is a football game at the LA Coliseum and it's Trojan Family Weekend, so the area/campus will likely be busy. 

        Cost: Free for Archive visit and potentially per person cost for art exhibit

        Time Commitment: Plan for approx 3-4 hours 

        Dogs: No animals allowed.

        Health Problems/Allergies: It is the responsibility of participants to carry on their person a record of significant allergies, medications and medical history in the event of a medical emergency. Discuss any medical concerns with a trip leader if you wish.

        Hunter Education Certification Course

        Sat Aug 8th to Sun 9th, 2026 @ Ramona Town Hall 

        Hunter-Trapper Education | Game Commission | Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

        This California Hunter Education Course is taught by volunteer instructors certified by the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG). The class takes place over two days, Saturday and Sunday. This hunter education course consists of a minimum of ten hours of classroom instruction. In addition to attending class, students are required to complete the chapter review exercises for the chapters covered on the first day and study at home.

        You Must Sign Up Online Here to Confirm Registration.

        Pre-Work: 

        It is recommended that students go through an online Study Guide found at: https://www.hunter-ed.com/california/studyGuide/201005/. Students who view the study guide prior to the class will be familiar with the material and have been known to do much better on the exam.

        HOMEWORK REQUIRED TO GET INTO THE CLASS – Print out the Hunter Education Vocabulary Pre-Class homework assignment and bring it to the classroom on the first day of class

        Costs involved: The class is free to all. Participants should bring snacks & drinks to class. Students should also bring paper and pen/pencil to class to take notes. I will have pencils and highlighters in class. We will break for lunch for 30 minutes and food options can be close by in Ramona.

        Students who successfully complete the course of instruction are awarded a Certificate of Completion. This certificate must be presented when applying for a hunting license.

        The Hunter Education Instructor makes the final decision in determining whether a student is qualified to receive a Certificate of Completion. A student who is unsafe or fails to demonstrate good sportsmanship will not be issued a Certificate of Completion. A student who does not pass the 100-question examination cannot be tested again on the same day.

        The Salton Sea is one of the most enigmatic places in the Southwest. It is a unique place with many hidden treasures and secrets that are not well known. It has been forgotten as a busy tourist attraction of bygone years. .....

        Prices: (Example 1) We have different pricing levels based upon you staying in a tent or RV in one of our sites, staying in a site you booked yourself (or in a nearby hotel/motel/friend's house).  Each person going must complete a separate registration.  We do this so each registrant acknowledges our liability waiver condition.

        Select your registration that conforms to the following definitions:

        • RV is a vehicle designed as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel or season use. RVs may be motorized (motorhomes) or towable (travel trailers, folding camping trailers and truck campers).
        • Tent: a collapsible shelter of fabric stretched and sustained by poles and used for camping.

        Prices:  (example 2) There is no charge for this event.  Each person going must complete a separate registration.  We do this so each registrant acknowledges our liability waiver condition.

        Prices are based upon each person going being a GO Chapter paid member. You can join - click here - and then register for this campout. Other GO Chapter members should contact our GOPS Webmaster (click here to email) in order to be added as a member of our Chapter for free. Each person going must complete a separate registration. We do this so each registrant acknowledges our liability waiver condition.

        Prices: Prices are based upon you being a GO paid member. If not currently a GO member, you will have the option of joining at an additional $25 per person for a one (1) year club membership prior to registration. Each person going must complete a separate registration. You can click here to join.  

        RV's and tents may share sites - maximum of one RV and one tent on each site. When reserving an RV site, please select the smallest RV site which will accommodate your RV's length. RV sites come with water, electricity, picnic table and a fire ring. A dump station is located within the park. Some sites may not be completely level - we suggest bringing leveling blocks. Depending upon the RV site, tow vehicles may have to park in a nearby site. These are sites with mature vegetation surrounding the sites.

        We will have a propane fire-pit for the group as open fires may be restricted in the camp to a designated area only.

        Ready for an Unforgettable Escape? Come join your GO friends to Southern Utah!

        Tired of the daily grind? Then it’s time to trade traffic for towering trees and spreadsheets for starry skies! Join your Great Outdoors friends on a five-day, four-night camping adventure in the breathtaking landscapes of Southern Utah! 

        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.

        PACE/PHYSICAL EFFORT/CULTURE SHOCK

        • This trip has a moderate pace; you should be able to walk up to 3 miles per day.
        • There is one long day on the bus from Aswan to Abu Simbel, about 7 hours in the bus round-trip.
        • Some days start early, departing the hotel at 8 am.
        • 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.
