    NATIONAL PUBLIC LANDS DAY 

    Since 1994, volunteers have come together on the fourth Saturday of every September to participate in stewardship projects to celebrate National Public Lands Day (NPLD), a day dedicated to service and supporting our cherished public lands. In the last decade, over one million volunteers have supported NPLD projects nationwide. You can be a part of this widespread volunteer movement. 

    On Saturday September 27, Positional Projects is partnering with Desert Cleanse Project, High Desert Keepers, Landers Homestead Valley Association, and others to clean up the remarkable Giant Rock freestanding boulder in Landers, CA. Activities will include trash clean-up and graffiti removal, and lunch will be provided.

    Positional Projects is also hosting optional camping the night before (September 26).

    Volunteer at Giant Rock!

    Bags, gloves and lunch will be provided. Wear long pants, long sleeve shirt, and bring water, snacks, and sun protection. 4x4 vehicles are strongly recommended to access the cleanup site.

    Volunteers gather at Giant Rock at 9 AM — about an hour and 15 minute drive from Palm Springs.

    Full information about the event is available at the Positional Projects registration link below. Be sure to register on this GOPS site, also, so we know if you'd like to arrange your own carpool with others who share their contact information.

    NOTE TO VOLUNTEERS: You must register at the following link to attend: click here to register with Positional Projects

    Meeting Location: Arrange your own carpool meeting location and time, or drive directly to the cleanup location.

    There is no GOPS leader for this event.

  • PS - Bike: PS City Boundaries - an Unofficial Loop

    • Sun, September 27, 2026
    • 7:30 AM - 10:30 AM
    • Palm Springs, CA
    Join waitlist

    PALM SPRINGS WANDERINGS--AN UNOFFICIAL LOOP

    This casual bike ride will be on designated bike paths, lanes, loops and routes around PS. This casual ride travels neighborhood streets throughout Palm Springs. There are a number of busy intersection crossings: N. Indian Canyon, N. Palm Canyon, S. Palm Canyon, Tahquitz and Sunrise - some at traffic lights!


    We will ride to the northern boundary of Palm Springs then ride along west boundaries in Vista Las Palmas before skirting the business district as well as meandering through the Historic Tennis Club - more western boundaries - and east through Warm Sands before heading north through Baristo and Movie Colony East as we return to our starting point to complete our loop. The total length of the ride will be approximately 12-15 miles.

    There are gradual inclines heading north and west, however there are two short ‘steepish’ hills in Vista Las Palmas, as well as the Rose Hill thrill ride payoff for your efforts.

    There will be a few ‘points of interest’ stops along the way.

    Bathrooms will be available at Victoria Park and the Downtown Park along Museum Way.

    What to Bring: water (2 to 3 liters recommended), lunch/ snacks, sun protection, and layered clothing. Carry emergency contact information. 

    You should consider yourself a confident street cyclist in order to enjoy this PS Loop bike ride.


    All riders are strongly encouraged to wear helmets. Inflate your tires to the recommended PSI. You may want to bring a tire pump, spare tube, bike tools, water, sunscreen and snacks.


    When checking your tire pressure, be sure to reset your seat height for maximum leg extension when riding.

    To be considered: Preparedness has been reinforced recently by a demonstration using a tube valve pin removal tool, tube sealant and a small cordless compressor, which became invaluable for roadside repair.

    Morgan Trail Day Hike

    Tuesday, Sept. 29, 9:00 AM to 2 PM

    In the event of extreme heat this hike will be postponed. Check your email the morning of the hike in case the hike is postponed.

    This hike is designed especially for senior and slower hikers. The hike is scheduled on a weekday.

    Trip Leader: Frederick Brown, [email protected]

    (Write up and picture taken from the United States National Forest Website.)

    Elevation: Change 720 feet

    Distance: 4.2 miles one way

    Hike Time: 4 hours

    Difficulty: moderate, only because of distance

    This beautiful 4.2 mile (one way) out and back trail takes hikers through the manzanita and oak lined wilderness of Morrell Canyon. Willows and sycamore trees hug the canyon bottom. Water flows freely during a wet season.

    Listed as moderate with an elevation change of 720 feet, hikers meander through oak groves before coming to an open meadow with an abundance of grass and wildflowers. We can turn back at the beautiful oak grove, depending on how people are doing; but at the mid-way point (4.2 miles), hikers are rewarded with terrific views over Lake Elsinore out to Mt. San Jacinto, Mt. San Gorgonio and Mt. Baldy.

    Located in the heart of the San Mateo Canyon Wilderness, this trail provides the serene and secluded experience that hikers can only get from a natural, untouched forest setting.

    We leave from the Candy Store on Ortega Highway, 34950 Ortega Hwy at precisely 09:00. Click for a map. There is plenty of parking in the U.S Forest Service lot across the street from the Candy Store, which requires an adventure pass. Along the way, we travel through a beautiful Oak Grove. At our destination, we have a nice view of Lake Elsinor.

    We then hike to the true trailhead on S. Main Divide Road, 4.2 miles, and then retrace our steps. Rattlesnakes and ticks are possible. Bring 10 essentials, sunscreen, a snack, and at least 1 liter of water.

     The Ortega Highway is a potentially dangerous road; drive safely.

    Beginning at Gold Crown Road, this loop explores key sites within the Old Dale Mining District, including the Hideout Mine, Ivanhoe Mine, and Ironage Mine. The route travels roughly 25 miles across historic mining terrain before exiting at Ironage Road, located about 15 miles east of Twentynine Palms along Highway 62.

    A notable feature of the route is the narrow shelf road leading up to Ivanhoe Mine, which requires careful driving and true 4WD capability. Overall, this is a moderate‑rated trail suitable for high‑clearance vehicles and drivers comfortable with uneven surfaces, loose rock, and occasional tight sections.

    This is a loop route, starting at Gold Crown Road and finishing at Ironage Road, offering a mix of mining history, desert scenery, and classic Joshua Tree backcountry driving.

    • 9:15 AM at the 7 Eleven station Twentynine Palms - Map

    "May we all remember him not in sadness due to his passing, but in all of the wonderful memories we were blessed to make with him." -OCLB President Daryl Arthur

    The Beginning of the Queer Outdoors Recreation Movement is a presentation by California Great Outdoors journeying through the decades of the queer outdoors recreation movement, with the SoCal outdoors LGBT+ community being at the heart of the movement. Great Outdoors is the longest running queer outdoors organization in the United States with a rich history. We will travel through the decades, starting from when Great Outdoors was ideated in 1977 by founders Greg Carmack and Paul Breton to today’s thriving national and global queer outdoors recreation movement.

    Join Great Outdoors Archivist Tyler Roosden as they set the stage with a historical account of The Beginning of the Queer Outdoors Recreation Movement through the archives of California Great Outdoors, ultimately culminating into a modern Leadership Studies approach to creating queer belonging in community. Our program will discuss themes like culture, technology, pride, recognition, and core values. Specific topics will include leadership training, awards programming, event planning, organizational design, gender equity, language, global pandemics, arts, access, and community collaboration. Our history is highlighted by the stories of BIPOC and queer trail blazers including volunteer-members Patrick McCollum, Darlene Bjork, Mack Gerighty, Dixie Paradise, Greg Carmack, Rowena Muldavin, Paul Breton, and Jamie Charles.

    The virtual presentation, including 30 minute Q&A, will take place on Saturday October 10th from 10:00am to 11:30am PT.

    This project was made possible thanks to the Lambda Archives of San Diego staff and ongoing archival support of ONE Archives at the USC Libraries (California Great Outdoors’ official archives).

    OC Pride has something really to be excited about this year -- a Pride Homecoming of sorts.  The festival is returning to Santa Ana! 

    I could not have said it better myself, below is an excerpt from the OC Register.

    Orange County Pride’s annual festival is returning to downtown Santa Ana this year — a move organizers say has been met with “overwhelming support” and is shaping up to make October’s homecoming celebration the biggest event they’ve held yet.


    This year’s festival will be held Oct. 10, with free admission open to all members of the public.

    “We’re so excited to show everybody what we’ve been working on all year. It’s going to be a great day; I’m very much anticipating it,” Orange County Pride Executive Director Bryan Terry said. “This is probably going to be the most jam-packed festival we’ve ever thrown — which is the exact opposite of what we were trying to do in the beginning.”

    Community feedback gathered earlier this year made it clear that attendees wanted organizers to find a way back to Santa Ana, the group said. The festival’s first event was in Centennial Park in 1989 and it was hosted downtown for years before relocating to Costa Mesa’s OC Fair & Event Center in 2024.

    Don’t just attend—be the heartbeat of the celebration. Sign up, bring your friends, and let’s show Orange County what true Pride means!

    Mt. San Jacinto Wilderness / Palm Springs Aerial Tramway

    Join us for an interesting mix of cross-country hiking and wilderness yoga/meditation in the pristine forest of the San Jacinto Wilderness. Starting from the Ranger Station, we’ll hike up the Low Trail for a bit and then start our cross-country ascent into the Shangri-la section of the park. After exploring some new areas of interest (and old favorites), we’ll settle into a secluded forested section for our yoga/meditation workshop in the shade. Refreshed and re-balanced, we’ll hike back to the Tram for the return ride down to our cars. Karen Salgado, one of the desert's leading yoga instructors, will join us on our hike and will lead us through our yoga and meditation session. A cash donation of $20 per participant to cover Karen’s costs and time would be appreciated.

    Space is limited. Please register to reserve a spot, sign the electronic waiver, and receive any last-minute updates.

    Focusing on gentle and restorative postures after our hike, beginner Yogis and Yoginis are welcome. The off-trail portion of the hike, however, requires participants have prior hiking experience at high altitude. We’ll be hiking on- and off-trail with our yoga mats, ground tarp, and other gear in our knapsacks. Having the proper gear is essential to ensure a safe and pleasurable experience for all (see equipment list below for details).

    Historical Context

    Surrounded by cottonwoods and watered by three natural springs, the Gilman Ranch site has attracted people throughout history. The superb canyon location—with its exceptional food and water supply—offered a prime habitation site for the local Cahuilla Indians. Later, under Spanish rule, the site became part of the San Gorgonio Rancho, the farthest outlying cattle ranch of Mission San Gabriel.

    In 1868, entrepreneur Newton Noble lived in the adobe, converted it into a stage stop, and opened the first post office in the San Gorgonio Pass. Noble’s property sat right along the Bradshaw Trail, a heavily traveled freight and stage route connecting Los Angeles to Arizona during the 1860s and 1870s. This trail originated from a network of traditional indigenous pathways that miner and freight driver William D. Bradshaw learned directly from Cahuilla and Maricopa guides. The route later became a vital communication corridor for federal troops expanding control over Arizona and New Mexico.

    The ranch is also famously tied to the historic Willie Boy manhunt. Willie Boy, a Paiute Indian, wished to marry a young woman named Carlotta against her father’s wishes. While Carlotta's family was camped at Gilman Ranch working the seasonal fruit harvest, Willie Boy fatally shot her father and escaped with her, sparking one of the last great western manhunts.

    Health & Safety

    Please carry Emergency Contact Information (ICE). If you have any medical concerns or allergies that may affect your ability to safely complete the tour or the hike, please discuss them privately with the trip leader prior to departure.

    Kent Jackson and the ORPS Rainbow RV Club are hosting this Game Night at the Outdoor Resorts in Cathedral City.  This is a wonderful opportunity to meet other gay men and women who also enjoy the outdoors.  

    We will be enjoying our game night in the luxurious accommodations of the La Palma clubhouse.  The facility is huge and can accommodate 100+ individuals.  Unlike our typical game night, we will have full access to a commercial kitchen, refrigerator, and ice machine.  

    Behind the clubhouse is the massive and fabulous heated pool and 10-man hot tub that is available to owners and their guests.  Unfortunately, the pool deck is scheduled for replacement in October so contacting Kent, owner and host of October's Game Night, encourages you to reach out to him if you want to try them out. 

    There is a lot of parking around the clubhouse, overflow parking is outside the  security gate in the parking lot to the right as you approach the security gate.  

    Once you're at the security gate, tell the guard you are a guest of Kent Jackson and his event at the La Palma Clubhouse.   You'll have to give your name so the security guard can check you off of the list.  The clubhouse is just beyond the security gate entrance, so you'll find it easily.  


     




    NOTE: This event will have a maximum capacity of 100 people

    Note: You must be a Great Outdoors Member to attend this event due to liability risks. Guests without prior membership can join here. You cannot join at the door.  This does not include the members of Rainbow RV.

    Our chapter is in serious need of Game Night Hosts!  If we can't find hosts, we will no longer be able to have game nights.   You do not need a pool, you just need a house and backyard patio that could accommodate as few as 25 or as many as 60 people.  Please reach out to Robert and volunteer.

  • PS - Hike: Lost Horse Loop Trail - Joshua Tree National Park

    • Mon, October 26, 2026
    • 8:00 AM - 3:30 PM
    • Joshua Tree National Park
    Register

    Description:  Lost Horse Loop Trail is a 6.8 mile trail located in Joshua Tree National Park just off the Keys View Road.  The trail follows the remains of the old service road for the mine which is located about 1.5 miles from the trailhead at elevation 4600-5120 feet.  The mine, over 100 years old, is one of the best preserved and was one of the most productive mines in Joshua Tree having produced 10,000 ounces of gold and 16,000 ounces of silver between the years of 1894 and 1931. 


    Lost Horse Mine was discovered by Johnny Lang while either looking for one of his lost horses or a stolen horse whose tracks took him to the Lost Horse Valley and the camp of Jim McHaney with his gang of cattle rustlers and horse thieves.  After being told he did not lose a horse, Johnny Lang left and on his way back ran into “Dutch” Frank Diebold. After being shown a piece of ore, Johnny bought the rights to the mine for $1,000 from “Dutch.” After a number of partners, Johnny was eventually forced to sell his share of the mine after his main partner, J.D. Ryan, hired a detective who caught him stealing. Johnny didn’t go too far and settled in the next canyon near the mine now named Johnny Long Canyon. In 1925, Johnny left a note on his cabin door saying he had left for food and bedded down for the night at the entrance to the canyon not too far from the mine. He died that night and was not found until two months later by Bill Keys, owner of the Keys View Ranch. After reporting his death to the county coroner, Mr. Keys buried Johnny where he was found near the Keys View Road just at the turn to the Lost Horse Mine parking area.

    San Jacinto Wildlife Area

    The San Jacinto Wildlife Area is a roughly 20,000-acre preserve in western Riverside County, managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and established in 1982. It's known as a major birding spot — it's part of an Audubon Society-designated Important Bird Area of Global Concern, and over 300 bird species have been recorded there. The area includes about 900 acres of restored wetlands and is home to numerous waterfowl, wading birds, and jackrabbits. The ponds draw waterfowl and shorebirds against a backdrop of Mt. San Gorgonio and the San Bernardino Mountains, while the surrounding grasslands attract eagles and overwintering raptors, along with species like Loggerhead Shrikes, Western Meadowlarks, and wintering sparrows. Notably, the wildlife area includes a constructed freshwater marsh that filters reclaimed water, the first state wildlife area to use reclaimed water to enhance its wetlands. GOPS member Tom Carlson will guide us through the preserve, explaining the wildlife along the way.

    • Trail Length: 2 miles
    • Elevation Gain/Loss: 50'
    • Difficulty Rating: Easy, although you should have good balance as parts of the walkway are uneven. Hiking poles may be helpful.

    PACE/PHYSICAL EFFORT/CULTURE SHOCK

    • This trip has a moderate pace; you should be able to walk up to 3 miles per day.
    • There is one long day on the bus from Aswan to Abu Simbel, about 7 hours in the bus round-trip.
    • Some days start early, departing the hotel at 8 am.
    • The weather in Egypt in November is warm, 75- 85F in the day, 55-60F at night. Egypt gets almost no rain.
    • 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.

    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.   We put two tent campers on one site.  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 $10, which is paid by GOPS.  The overflow parking lot is NOT close.  

      Leashed dogs are welcome at $2/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 or license plate, please let the trip leader know.   

      Site 49 is below the group circle, but there is a nearby staircase or the road which makes it easy to walk up to the pavilion circle.  This site is also RV only. 

      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 fee before Nov. 1st, 2026.
