    It was built at the Douglas factory in Santa Monica, California. It is one of 159 C-53Ds and was delivered to AAF on July 7, 1943. It was assigned to the 434th Troop Carrier Group and was stationed at various locations (Alliance Field, NE, Baer Field, IN, Fullbeck, UK, and Welford Park, UK) before arriving at Royal Air Force (RAF) Aldermaston, UK in march 1944.

    At 0119, June 6, 1944, 52 of the Group's airplanes, each towing a Waco glider, took off from RAF Aldermaston Airfield for Normandy. Aircraft 830 flew three missions on D-Day and the next day.

    While in the ETO it participated in the D-Day invasion, Operation Market Garden in Holland, the re-supply of Bastogne, and the crossing of the Rhine.

    Join us for an evening filled with great company, lively conversation, a little holiday mischief, and a feast worthy of the season. We’ll ease into the night with social time and drinks, enjoy a delicious holiday dinner, and wrap things up with our always-entertaining White Elephant gift exchange.

    For the main course, we’ll be serving both a ham and a turkey. To make the potluck truly shine, we’re asking members to contribute appetizers, desserts, and beverages that are prepared or chosen with care—something thoughtful, meaningful, and made to be enjoyed and shared.

    For the White Elephant exchange, bring something you already own and are ready to pass along. Go for something clever, bold, unexpected, or simply delightful. It’s not about cost—it’s about the fun, the surprises, and the laughter it brings to the room.

    “THE FRUIT CAKE FOLLIES” is Los Angeles's longest running Christmas/Variety show…NOW CELEBRATING IT’S 27TH YEAR!!!!

     Just like those holiday variety Christmas specials we remember from when we were kids! "The Fruit Cake Follies" is all that and much MORE! It’s just a good ol’ fashioned show that’s drunk too much egg nog.

    Some say the show is a cross between a Perry Como Christmas special and Pee Wee's Playhouse. Others say the old Muppet Show, with the host trying to hold the show together as all these crazy characters are all around him.

    When the Follies’ Fruitcakes get together there’s plenty of Music, Merriment and Mirth! One thing sure, you'll leave with the Christmas spirit!

    Written and Directed for the past 27 years by James Gray. And every year is a New theme and a New Show!

    Starring JAMES GRAY, CHER FERRERA, ERIC SEPPALA, SANDRA BENTON, and DENA DROTAR.

    With Musical Direction by Michael Orland

    Proudly presented by Chris Isaacson

    Fiesta Island Dog Park & Inland Hike


    Fiesta Island, a spacious peninsula within Mission Bay, is known for its expansive ocean views, open landscape, and relaxed coastal vibe. It features one of the largest off-leash dog parks in San Diego and regularly hosts charity walks, bicycle races, time trials, and special events like the annual over-the-line tournament. In the evenings, visitors often stay to watch the dazzling SeaWorld fireworks, which reflect off the bay and can be seen from across the island. Despite its popularity, Fiesta Island supports a surprising number of rare, threatened, and endangered bird and plant species, making it both a recreational and ecological landmark. It's also a key site during the San Diego Bayfair Cup, a premier hydroplane boat race on the H1 Unlimited circuit.

    We'll start our hike near the restrooms on the west side of Fiesta Island, entering through the gate and passing the benches as we make our way toward the western shoreline. This area is a popular launch point for jet skis and water skiing. From there, we'll continue south along the edge of the island, where you'll get a great view of the SeaWorld tower in the distance. It’s a perfect spot for photos, which we can share later on the Great Outdoors Facebook group.

    After enjoying the view, we'll head inland and follow the path looping back toward the entrance. A smaller trail on the opposite side of the road leads through a quiet park area with benches—an ideal place to rest and take in the scenery before making our way back.

      Everything Included. For Nothing.

      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.

      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.

      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

      •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!

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.

    • PS - Dos Picos County Park Campout-SAVE THE DATE

      • Sun, November 22, 2026

      • 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.
