Decided to do something or go somewhere fun at the last minute? You're gonna do it alone anyways, so why not post it here to see if other interested spontaneous members can join in.

Examples: I'm going fishing at 5pm at the Balboa pier for couple hours to see if I get a catch. Look for a brown guy with gray t-shirt and yellow shorts sta …

Welcome THE FUN HAS JUST BEGUN You want to know why I decided to start this group because I was finding groups that would start off great, but then fizzle out. The reason I noticed, was that almost all the groups are way too specialized.  I wanted a young adult group where people meetup, make friends or more, exchange ideas and we do it.  So the point is do something either fun, exciting, wild, new, whatever. We aim to be active, outdoorsy, adventurous, and social. Whether it is , hiking excursi …

Here in the OC, our "Fast-Paced" & "Activity-Packed" lifestyle makes the command to "Love One Another" a challenge... am I right? Who has time to do everything that is expected of us: work, chores, church, school, kid's activities, personal & community responsibilities, etc… and still walk as Jesus did?  Was he wrong when Jesus said "My yoke is easy, my burden is light?" (Matt 11:30) I don't think so!! With a little conviction, some effort, and today's social media tools... we can turn "Challeng …

I really enjo …
