What we’re about
Welcome to Midwest Hiking and Adventures! Everyone is welcome in this group as well as all skill levels. We will do things locally as well as regionally. We will focus primarily on hiking but will throw in other adventures from time to time, such as a day trip or weekend getaway.
*VERY IMPORTANT*
1. Actively manage your RSVP's. If you say you'll attend and don't show for an event, then hosts will mark you as a 'no show' and have the right to move you to the 'not going' list on their next event. Thank you for being respectful to everyone in the community.
2. Be advised that this is not a dating group. Sometimes people meet and there is a connection and start dating. That's great. Not a problem. But, do not join this group looking for a date and do not message and harass members in hopes of a date. Use common sense here. We want everyone to be able to feel comfortable joining the group and attending scheduled events without fear. If you feel uncomfortable with someone's behavior at an event, please privately let your host know.
4. This group requires that your profile has a photo to join. The majority do but there are some that don't. Please use a photo of YOU and keep a photo of yourself on your profile even after joining. We want to know who you are. I get it. You want privacy or have reasons for not putting a photo of yourself on your profile. Consider this. What would it be like if NO ONE used a photo of themselves for their profile. Don't YOU want to know who you're attending events with?
Join us and let's have some fun, be active, and make some new friends in the process. We look forward to meeting you!
