I have run five different outdoor groups or clubs, if you will, and have found various levels of success, which is measured by the number of partners I have been able to get. Three of these have been with Meet Up. One of them has been with a website I spun up using the Weebly hosting service. Next I went to a no cost forum. In the last and most current form of this pursuit , I have produced is a Wordpress site. This is the one I am keeping. Of all of these methods, I do not recommend Meet Up or a content provider that does not allow full customization. Meet Up I do not recommend (as an organizer) because the great volume of humanity, with all it's madness, and greatness, has access to it. It has been useful in that I have been able to pour all of my members into a funnel and a few nuggets of gold have fallen through.
So why do all this? Well first of all, my wife demands that I do not hike alone. The second and greater reason, discovered over time, is that it makes people happy. Yes that is it. It is simple as that. The following is my current and last iteration of this pursuit along with a few trips we have done recently. No backpacks yet, I'm hoping a few will go along on one or more of those. Everything here is in New Mexico. Hope to take them to Utah and Colorado soon.
