Monthly Outings

Our monthly outings are usually the First Saturday, Second Thursday (Gig Harbor) and Third Wednesday. Also listed are any "ad hoc" outings planned (outside of the usual schedule). 

Be mindful of the COVID risk. Rates are coming down now though it's still with us.  Colds and flu are rising.  

Please stay home if you're feeling ill, regardless of a negative COVID test.  It could be a cold, flu, or RSV to which older people are also vulnerable.  Our group has many Seniors. Even if it's "just a cold", we'd rather not catch it! Thanks for taking care of each other.

This is a new location for us, suggested by a couple members. There is a beach with views and a playground. Originally built as a hotel in 1911, Titlow Lodge is a recently refurbished craftsman style building.  There is a separate restroom building and a large picnic shelter in case of rain. Also plenty of parking in 3 nearby lots.
