      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.

      Academy Museum of Motion Pictures 


      Sunday, June 21, 2026

      10:00 AM to 1:00 PM

      The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is a film museum that opened in 2021 on Miracle Mile. The first large-scale museum of its kind in the United States, it houses part of the Academy Collection, the largest film-related collection in the world, with more than 52 million objects from notable films, and is dedicated to the arts, history, science, and artists of moviemaking and the film industry.


      The museum is located in the historic May Company Building at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue, part of Museum Row on the Miracle Mile. It is overseen by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).

      The design of the museum was overseen by Italian architect Renzo Piano. The exterior of the May Company building, now dedicated as the Saban Building following a $50 million donation from Cheryl and Haim Saban, was refurbished with new limestone, as well as new gold leaf tiles for its corner "cylinder".


      A spherical structure was built as an extension of the main Saban Building, connected via skyways, which features the glass-domed Dolby Family Terrace. The museum features two theater halls that are used for film screenings, programming, and other special events; the 945-seat David Geffen Theater in the Sphere, and the smaller, 277-seat Ted Mann Theater in the lower level of the Saban Building.


      Please purchase advance tickets on the Academy Museum website:

We will then transfer to the D line, leaving 7th and Metro at 9:42AM. Our arrival at Wilshire/Fairfax will be at 9:55 AM. We then walk 3 minutes to the museum arriving at 9:58 AM

      Afternoon Hike & Dinner at Malibu Seafood


      Let's park and gather in front of this building. 



      Date: Sunday, June 21, 2026

      Time: 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM (Dinner to follow)

      Location: Solstice Canyon, Malibu, CA

      Distance: ~3.3 miles

      Elevation Gain: ~1,000 feet

      Difficulty: Moderate with breaks

      Trip Leader, click here: Russell Hammerl 

      Hike Description

      Join a beautiful late-afternoon hike in Malibu to celebrate the summer solstice! We will beat the midday heat by starting at 4:00 PM, enjoying the canyon shade, ocean breezes, and Golden Hour views of the Pacific.

      Our ~3-mile route will explore the rich history and diverse scenery of Solstice Canyon. We will start on the paved Solstice Canyon Trail, taking a gentle stroll alongside a shaded riparian creek under the canopy of live oaks and sycamores. Along the way, we will pass the historic stone ruins of the Keller House (built over a century ago) and continue to the Tropical Terrace ruins—the footprints of a mid-century mansion designed by renowned architect Paul Revere Williams, complete with a multi-tiered perennial waterfall.

      We will return via the scenic Rising Sun Trail back down to the trailhead just as the sun begins its low dip toward the horizon. This is the longest day light hours of the year so we will be finished and at the restaurant before the sunsets.

      Ruins of Tropical Terrace. The waterfall is behind the house 

      What to Bring

      • Footwear: Sturdy hiking shoes or boots with good traction for dirt and rocky single-track paths and perhaps hiking poles. 

      • Water: At least 2 liters of water. Even though we are starting late and most of the trail is heavily shaped, parts of the upper ridge are exposed.

      • Sun Protection: Hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses.

      • Layers: A light jacket, sweater, or windbreaker (Malibu canyons cool down quickly as the sun goes down and dinner is at the outside on picnic tables at the ocean)

      • Money: for post-hike dinner, prices are reasonable.

      Post-Hike Dinner: Malibu Seafood

      After working up an appetite, we will drive just a couple of miles on the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu Seafood. It’s very casual, a local staple, with outdoor picnic tables overlooking the ocean. They serve incredible fish and chips, clam chowder, grilled seafood, and more. It’s the perfect way to cap off a fantastic day outdoors with old and new friends! (Please note: Dinner is optional, and members are responsible for their own meal costs).

      Join us for an exclusive three-day weekend at Sturtevant Camp, a magical gem in our local Angeles National Forest. 

      Just a short distance from Los Angeles, Sturtevant Camp is a world away...  in the upper reaches of Big Santa Anita Canyon, tucked into our vast San Gabriel Mountains.  The camp was founded 133 years ago --  in 1893, during Southern California's “Great Hiking Era,” and has delighted generations of campers. Thanks to dedicated volunteers, the camp has survived many natural disasters, and is now reopened for Great Outdoors to celebrate Pride Month with our own Summer Camp Weekend at Sturtevant!

      We will hike in on a gradual, lovely 4.2-mile trail, enjoy a lunch break at popular Sturtevant Falls, then continue to camp.  We'll carry our own backpack with clothes and light gear, but we'll be assisted by a pack of donkeys who will carry our food ahead of time, and pack out our trash!

      Sturtevant Camp is a place to unplug and relax, with a main lodge for group cooking and meals, a game and music room, bunk bed cabins and showers, and a giant swing! If you look forward to a slow weekend enjoying canyon life, local history, making our own entertainment, and a nostalgic summer camp in good company, then this is the nature weekend for you!

      Trip Info Session! Thursday, June 11, 7-8 pm.

      History




      Founded in 1893 by Wilbur Sturtevant, Sturtevant Camp is the only surviving resort from Southern California's "Great Hiking Era" in the Big Santa Anita Canyon when it operated as a popular wilderness getaway.  It even features the oldest U.S. Forest Service ranger station structure still standing on its original footprint. Built in 1903 by Ranger Louis Newcomb, the cabin is an engineering marvel with hand-hewn logs that remain structurally sound to this day. The camp is closely tied to the legendary Adams Pack Station, in Southern California, and the only full-time, year-round donkey-packing service in the Western United States!

      The USS Iowa is a retired US Navy battleship, famous for its long and distinguished service and for being the lead ship of its class. It is now a maritime museum located at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro, California.


      What better way to celebrate Independence Day than on the only Battleship open to the public on the West Coast!


      Here's a summary of its key features and history:

      • Commissioned in 1943: The USS Iowa served in World War II, the Korean War, and the Cold War.
      • "World's Greatest Naval Ship": It was known for its powerful weaponry, heavy armor, speed, and ability to keep up with technological advancements.
      • "Battleship of Presidents": It hosted four US presidents, including Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Joe Biden. Notably, it has the only bathtub installed on a US battleship for a president (FDR).
      • Served in major conflicts: It participated in significant events like the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay and campaigns in the Pacific during WWII. During the Korean War, it provided crucial gunfire support.
      • Modernization in the 1980s: It was reactivated as part of the 600-ship Navy plan, receiving advanced weapons systems.
      • Explosion in 1989: A tragic explosion in its second gun turret killed 47 sailors.
      • Decommissioned in 1990: Due to the turret damage and defense budget cuts, it was decommissioned for the final time.
      • Became a Museum in 2012: After undergoing restoration, it was donated to the Pacific Battleship Center and opened to the public as a museum in San Pedro. 


      Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the ship in the LA World Cruise Terminal parking lot.

      Parking is free for the first hour and $2 for each additional hour with a maximum of $22 per day.

      There is a cafe (Vicky's Doghouse) if anyone wants to grab a bite after the tour. There are other nearby lunch options as well.

      The USS Iowa has a dark and tragic connection to the LGBTQ community. In 1989, the USS Iowa experienced a devastating explosion in Gun Turret #2, killing 47 sailors. 

      The initial Navy investigation concluded that a crew member, Clayton Hartwig, had deliberately caused the explosion. The Navy implied that Hartwig, who died in the explosion, had a romantic relationship with another sailor, Kendall Truitt, and that the explosion was the result of a soured homosexual relationship. This conclusion was met with criticism and led to further investigations. These subsequent investigations disputed the Navy's findings, suggesting that the explosion was likely accidental, potentially due to an over-ramming of powder bags. 

      This incident transfixed the nation, eventually discredited the U.S. naval command and resulted in the retirement of four historic battleships. It also provides a textbook example of how the military used homophobia to cover its mistakes.

      If you have any questions about this event, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Trip Leader.

      1) Potluck item and a beverage of your choice. (Alcohol is prohibited in Mission Bay Park.)

      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.

      Great Outdoors - San Diego

      End of Pride Torrey Pine Hike & Blacks Beach

      Sunday, July 19, 2026 3pm to 6 pm

      Torrey Pines Reserve is perhaps the most spectacular location along the coast of Southern California.  The hike starts at the picnic area above the beautiful Torrey Pines State Beach. The paved road climbs up through a forest of Torrey Pines, the world’s rarest pine species, which grows amongst amazing Badland rock formations perched 400 feet above the Pacific Ocean.  The ocean/badland views are truly breathtaking. The hike continues on a dirt trail and will make stops at Razor Point and Yucca Point, finally descending to Black’s Beach at Flat Rock.  Those wanting to take a brief swim in their short or swimsuit can do so.  After resting for 15 minutes on the beach, the hike will resume back to the picnic area.  Those wanting to stay at the beach to enjoy the gay nude beach, which is ¼ mile south of Flat Rock, need to sign out of the hike.  If one chooses to sign out, the individual will be responsible for getting back on their own.  After spending the day in the heat of the Pride festival or other activities, come and enjoy the cool ocean air and hike and swim with us at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. 

      MEET AT: Torrey Pines Picnic area 12600 N, Torrey Pines Rd. La Jolla

      DATE/TIME: Sunday, July 19, 2026 3pm.  Back before 6 pm

      DISTANCE: 3 MILES ROUND TRIP/ Picnic Area to Razor Point

      ELEVATION GAIN: 400ft up and down twice.

      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.

        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.

        • 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.

        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.

        • 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.
