What cathy mccormick is saying about this Meetup Group

You will see things and learn things from Sid and the other group members that you never knew about Philadelphia. Sid moves at a good clip so you will get a good walk in, but he is willing to stop when someone wants to investigate something that catches their attention (see the "crazy staircase" house reference above).

Welcome Cathy, my fiance Lisa was a doula and childbirth educator. She's usually at these meet-ups with me, you should introduce yourself to her. Hope to see you soon.

Hi Cathy! It was great meeting you and getting to know you. Also, thanks for the much needed encouragement! And for driving me!! I felt so bad when I realized you had to drive all the way back to New Jersey.
Anyway, I wanted to give you the names of the 2 women's meetup groups which I told you about: The first is The South Jersey Women's Meetup Group. The second is The 40+ Single Women's Weekend Meetup Group. Look forward to seeing you again! Janet

Hello Cathy,
I see you’re struggling to meet other Meetup group members. I recommend sending self-introduction messages to people in the group or coming out Friday and meeting others in the group.

Hiking Around Philly is different from most hiking groups because we hike (and sometimes bicycle) off the beaten path. We hike in the woods and the city. We go places that won't be found on any hiker's map. The events are usually within a 1.5 hour drive from Philly, though we sometimes visit NYC or the Jersey shore. Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike.

And, we do a lot more than hike; we explore. Whether it be a trail in a park or a back alley in the city, we always look for neat things, and we find them. Did you notice the 25 foot dinosaur made from pink suntan lotion bottles? We take time to appreciate a beautiful tree, a low flying eagle, or a hickory horned devil (look it up). We visit museums, historic houses, bakeries, battleships, and other neat places. We appreciate architecture, sculptures (Philly has more than any other US city, yea!), or whatever we find near our path. After a hike we often eat at a special place. And, we rarely repeat ourselves.

Fearless lost explorers and sidney (fleas) are curious. This group is not for people content to only go down one trail and up another, nor for people happy to take the same or beaten path. This group may also be different because only one person leads hikes, gets folks lost, and does the bulk of administrative work. So, please read on to make sure you want to be a proud flea.
