Please Email agritschke@hotmail.com if you are interested in the outings. So we can keep you posted.
After the Covid scare has been deemed over, and we have been unmasked, we are going to “Wander” again. Our member Andreas Gritschke has found great places to hike and socialize. And here they are.

Beach Day and paddle boarding at Dana Point
Not sure what all the fuss is about when it comes to SUP? Let’s find out! Meet up at Baby Beach, 34451 Ensenada Place, inside Dana Point harbor. We will be renting a board or two or three from Westwind Sailing and give it a go. Bring shade, sunscreen and finger food to share. Your club will take care of the drinks and the ice cream.

Join us this Sunday at the country’s largest open-streets event. Once in a lifetime, CicLAvia will close streets from Echo Park to Chinatown to Little Tokyo to Boyle Heights for cars and open them up for hikers and bikers. Let’s meet at 1701 Clinton Street in LA. Forgot to bring your bike? Cannot find your rollerblades? Go metro and catch up with the others at “Wurstküche” for lunch.

Sturtevant Falls
Moderate, 3 miles return hike, 400ft elevation gain, mostly paved trail, some rock hopping at stream crossings, which should be easy to navigate in the fall. One of the most popular hikes the San Gabriel Mountains, probably because the trail is short and the rewards are plenty. Bring a Forest Adventure Pass for parking. Can be had at REI, Big 5, your local Turner’s store, or at Adams Pack Station.
Take I-210 to Exit 32, head north on Santa Anita Avenue for 5 miles to Chantry Flats parking lot and trail head. Meet at Adams Pack Station and we will go from there.
Lunch will be served at “The Only Place in Town” in Sierra Madre.

Venice Canals Boat Parade
If the SUP outing in September was successful, we may enter our very own, festively decorated float. Otherwise we just watch what everybody else came up with. Will be fun, either way. Meeting point is the Eastern Canal pedestrian bridge at Linnie Canal Court. The after-party will be at ”Baja Cantina”.
