As for hiking, LA Mountains is a great site that outlines all of the hiking areas in the (surprise) LA Mountains.

No, no, no ... you miss my point. (And it's not even mine, but one I am relaying for someone who has no internet access at the moment).

In rougly six pages of ideas, most of them intriguing and worthwhile, the suggestions are heavy on museums and out-of-town trips. Let's face it: Out-of-town swankings will be hard to pull off ... and I expect, in the end, for there to be few or one of them.

I'm just passing on a request to vary the types of activities when the eventual selections are made from the genuinely good ideas contributed thus far, and in the future.

But no obligation is being pressed on anyone to do or plan anything. Nothing of the sort.

Well, this is a group effort. If Mr. "has no internet" wants to relay a message about some ideas, please have him do that. There are PLENTY of fun, local things to do. Too many to ever do in a mere 6+ events.

If I can get my hands on a video projector that is powerfull enough, and at a price that doesn't send me in to cardiac arrest, Bill and I would love to host some outdoor movie screenings in our back yard this summer.

Oh and here's another place I want to go to: The Edison
