    Join Great Outdoors San Diego for Out at the Park! 

    Baseball.  Pride. ️‍ ️‍Community.  What's not to love?

    Great Outdoors San Diego (GOSD) is heading to Petco Park on Friday, May 1st for one of San Diego's most beloved annual traditions — Out at the Park, the Padres' Pride night celebration in partnership with San Diego Pride. We'd love for you to join us — whether you're a die-hard baseball fan, a Pride enthusiast, or just looking for a great night out with great people.

    The Details:  Petco Park, Sections 228/230 Friday, May 1st — Game starts at 6:40 PM ⚾ Padres vs. Chicago White Sox ️ $65 per person — includes your game ticket, a commemorative Padres Pride hat, and a $10 donation to San Diego Pride

    Space is very limited — only 15 total spots available, first come, first served!

    Come Early for the Pre-Game Party!

    Want to make a full evening of it? Head to Gallagher Square when the gates open for Party in the Park, a pregame happy hour presented by Southwest Airlines, running from approximately 4:30–6:30 PM. It's a festive, lively kickoff to the night — the perfect place to meet up with other GOSD event attendees before we head to our seats together.

    If you can't make the pre-game, no worries — join us at the seats for first pitch at 6:40 PM!

    Why the Padres? Why This Night?

    The Padres don't just host Pride night — they mean it. Out at the Park has been a San Diego tradition for nearly 30 years, and the Padres have been recognized across Major League Baseball for their genuine, year-round commitment to the LGBTQ+ community. Petco Park was the first MLB stadium to offer gender-neutral, multi-stall restrooms, and the organization has donated tens of thousands of dollars to LGBTQ+ causes over the years. This is a franchise that walks the walk — and that's exactly why we're proud to be there.

    Ready to join us? Grab your ticket before they're gone — register now. Questions? Reach out to event lead Brent Sammons at [email protected].

    We hope to see you there — gay, straight, and everywhere in between.

  • PS - Hike: Rescheduled Tram - Idyllwild via Wellman Thru Hike

    • Sun, May 03, 2026
    • 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM
    • Mount San Jacinto
    Join waitlist

    Let's take a hike from the Tram to Idyllwild via Wellman's Divide and return by carpool to our cars at the Tram parking lot. This weather dependent hike covers the familiar trail to Wellman's Divide, then descends through Wellman's Cienega--an area with (usually) year round spring water, ferns, and wildflowers, and connects to the familiar-to-some Devil's Slide trail to Humber Park.

    Because GOPS is prohibited from arranging car pools, each hiker will need to secure their own transportation from Humber Park back to the Tram lot as provided below.

     Carpool Requirement & Coordination (Important):

    We will be using a third-party tool for hikers and drivers to create carpools for the ride back from Humber Park to the Tram Station.

    • Participation by non-hikers to volunteer as drivers is necessary to make this hike a success
    • Participants are responsible for arranging their own carpools (and offering to help defray the driver's expenses)

    Arranging your carpool per the following process no later than Saturday, May 2 at 9 AM is required. 

    Drivers and hikers must register at Groupcarpool.com Registration Site. The site gathers information about seats available and offers a waitlist for hikers (riders). You can register as a driver, a rider, or on waitlist. If on waitlist, when a seat opens in a car, grab the icon at the left side of your name and drag it to the car you are joining. Hikers must also register for the hike through the GOPS site. Drivers do not need to register with GOPS.

    Arrive at the Palm SpringsTramway Valley Station in time to catch the 8 AM tram. Advance tickets may be available. Tickets are usually available to purchase on site. If participants are in the Valley Station lobby and have checked in with the hike leader, we will await arrival of the 2nd tram before departing if necessary.

    Water may be available at Round Valley and Wellman's Cienega. If it is available, it will require filtering. 

    We will plan on 5.5 hours for hiking and breaks, arriving in Humber Park around 2:30 PM. Carpool drivers should meet us at Humber Park for the 75 minute drive back to the tram parking lot.

    Description:

    • Trail Length: 8.4 miles
    • Elevation Gain/Loss: 1300' up to Wellman then (mostly) down 3500' to Humber Park
    • Difficulty Rating: Strenuous
    • Trail Type: Developed
    • Terrain: Rocky, dirt, gravel-like.
    • Meet at Palm Springs Tramway Valley Station   Map

    The hike leader may ask about your experience and stamina. This is for your safety and that of the group. Your understanding and cooperation is appreciated.

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

    Hiking Requirements (How can I tell if a hike is for me?). You will need to be in very good physical condition for this hike. Click here for more information.

    Tram Ticket Cost:  $33.95-$36.95.  To pre-purchase your ticket and for more information click  PS Tramway.  If tickets are not available for pre-purchase online they will still be available to purchase in person at the station if you arrive early.  Annual Passes are also available.

    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

    •Layered under gear (long underwear, etc.)

    •Hat, gloves, scarf, etc.

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

    •Sturdy hiking shoes 


    Weather: Average temperatures in May in the Yosemite Valley range from the 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: 

    $225 for Great Outdoors members for the 4 days/3 nights event.  Come early on Friday to enjoy the park and/or stay late on Monday to enjoy the park!  We will check into our canvas tents at 4 PM on Friday.

    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 21 days prior to start day of event IF a replacement can be found; a $20 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!

    RSVP: None needed.

    Note: This event is hosted by California Men's Gatherings with Great Outdoors, SAGA ski club, F.O.G., Pozabilities, and SDBears collaborating to support our LGBT+ community!

    DESCRIPTION: Thanks go to Ted and Adrian for bringing supplies and to Ray (Kiwi) for coordinating delivery of the wood! We're ready for another great season of chilling together by the bay!

    VOLUNTEERS: It would be great to have one or two people who can arrive early (around 4:30 or 5) to secure one of the fire rings. We could also use a third person capable of hauling wood to the site. Please let us know if you can do these simple but vital tasks.

    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.

     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!


    If connecting with men is important to you, attending a LIVE or ONLINE event is a great way to find out about the California Men’s Gatherings and the many wonderful men who get involved. 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.

    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.

    Ready for an Unforgettable Escape? Come join your GO friends to Southern Utah!       -Updated ticket costs-                 

    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.

    Registration $85 for driver, $70 for Passenger, tent camping only

    DESCRIPTION: Thanks go to Ted and Adrian for bringing supplies and to Ray (Kiwi) for coordinating delivery of the wood! We're ready for another great season of chilling together by the bay!

    VOLUNTEERS: It would be great to have one or two people who can arrive early (around 4:30 or 5) to secure one of the fire rings. We could also use a third person capable of hauling wood to the site. Please let us know if you can do these simple but vital tasks.

    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.

     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!


    If connecting with men is important to you, attending a LIVE or ONLINE event is a great way to find out about the California Men’s Gatherings and the many wonderful men who get involved. 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.

    • 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.
