MeetUp is always a possibility. Or maybe a friend and yourself can organize your own outings? Keep it on the short side (less than five miles) and have fun. 🙂

I’m just beginning myself and found tons of resources to finish my pack list (including your $300 gear challenge) but now I’m trying to find beginner outings and the only three I’ve found nearby were filled months ago.

Often identified with the subheading: only been set up in my backyard once.
