I will be driving from East of Pasadena, more than willing to pick people up.

I just flew into LA (helping some friends in need), etc. I'm guessing we are all going to overeat this week, so I know you NEED to gte out and climb a hill. So this 11/30 at 11:30 we will meet, and waddle to the top. - Ki 310.THINKER reichart@gmail.com http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=6&hikeid=712 2025-11-26 18:07:19 Los Angeles Hello all So, just flew in from China to America to celebrate a Russian! The night before this hike is Yuri's night. There is like a THOUSAND people going. You can still get tickets though - they run $85 to rub shoulders with real astronauts and real space cadets. More info here https://la.yurisnight.net/ (Sat night. At 6 people taking pics with fancy cars, at 7 lots of people showing up) Late start hike the next day, a gentle walk around the Hollywood reservoir, share insights, good conversation, and enjoy the stunningly good weather right now. Beath. p.s. I'll be driving to this from Pasadena. If anyone wants a lift, ping me. Will be heading back right after hike. - Ki reichart@gmail.com 310.THINKER http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=94&hikeid=709 2025-04-01 23:32:59 Los Angeles Aloha, I'm flying into LA for a few weeks next week. I'm sure this is the time of year we all need to get outside and burn some calories. We'll meet at 10:01 sharp! All are welcome. - Ki Cell: 310.THINKER Email: reichart@gmail.com http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=6&hikeid=708 2024-12-22 22:31:02 Los Angeles Hello all, I'm in Los Angeles this week. I would love to see everyone. I'm picking a short simple and early hike so it is still cool, and everyone can do even more things with this Sunday. If you have never been to the actual Batcave where Batman the series was shot, this is really fun. Feel free to ask me anything I'll be driving from Arcadia if anyone would like a lift. - Ki reichart@gmail.com 310.THINKER (Cell) http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=78&hikeid=707 2024-09-12 00:20:47 Los Angeles Have a little nostalgia for Hollywood movies and TV? Well, this is a hike up to the Caves so many movies and TV shows have been filmed. Come join for a little hike up the hill. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=78&hikeid=699 2023-07-23 04:20:38 Los Angeles We have a new hike! Suggested by Devin, this is an urban hike starting at Patrick's Roadhouse. We're not sure where parking is, if you know, email me, please. We will be getting an early start on 7/16, 8:16am. Should be cool (if even foggy) to start, near the beach. Lots of stairs. - Ki 310.THINKER reichart@gmail.com http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=222&hikeid=698 2023-07-15 17:10:50 Los Angeles We've had great turnouts for the hikes. This one is also West, and a little earlier (due to the heat) If you would like to tweak it, we can. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=125&hikeid=695 2023-07-08 23:24:23 Los Angeles Pushing for a hike more West, Simi Valley, Malibu area. We don't have to do this specific hike. If anyone would like to suggest a better time or place, it is open until tomorrow. Look forward to seeing some old faces. Last few week's hikes have been wonderful. New friends were made by many. - Ki http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=150&hikeid=694 2023-07-01 02:27:08 Los Angeles It looks like a beautiful day for a hike around the Hollywood Reservoir. It's no longer used as drinking water, but it does get used by helicopters picking up water to put out wires. - Ki http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=94&hikeid=693 2023-06-21 22:56:55 Los Angeles Planning further out for this one. I'll be in LA for about 333 hours starting next week. Hoping to catch up with friends. Weather should be great. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=6&hikeid=692 2023-05-29 05:09:01 Los Angeles Please show up at 11:13 sharp! The weather should be great. This hike is a BRING YOUR OWN FOOD picnic. We will hike, and then come back down the hill and eat on the grass. So you can leave food in your if you wish. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=6&hikeid=679 2022-05-29 14:40:56 Los Angeles Hello all, I'm in town for a few days, so we're doing a classic hike in Griffith Park to kick off the New Year. For those with hangovers, we will keep our voices down. The weather appears good so far for this. As I'm no longer on FaceBook, if someone would be kind enough to repost this there, much appreciated. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=6&hikeid=677 2021-12-20 03:21:15 Los Angeles Picnic at high noon. 11:39 is high noon this Nov 22. When we were first deciding what to name this hike group, one name that was clearly thrown out hastily was 'Hikers with SARS.' SARS was 'popular,' and it seemed like a good game plan for hikers that are mostly introverted and misanthropic. Clearly, you can see where I'm going with this. But, our name is set in stone. I'll be swooping* into town next week for a few days, and would love to see at least half of everyone's beaming faces. I'm not sure what the rules are for mask-wearing on hikes while social distancing. But, to scare off other hike groups** just cough, a lot. That all being said, this will be a hike and light picnic at the top. If you have any questions, I can be emailed directly, or texted.

If they capture you, admit nothing, and don't make eye contact with the rest of us. Remember snitches get itches (urushiol). http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=6&hikeid=668 2020-11-10 20:24:11 Los Angeles We have had some great hikes while I''m in town recently. Tomorrow will be my last hike here for a while. In honour of the Hawaii I miss so much right now. #808 Los Angeles is great, but man it is cold. Ready to get up early and hike? Dress warm, bring a backpack as it gets warmer. We'll be doing breakfast afterwards. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=10&hikeid=666 2019-12-29 04:22:07 Los Angeles This one is backwards, Lunch first, hike after. Meeting outside of the Beachwood Cafe at 1:31pm (or 13:31 if you please). Planning to have lunch at Noon.

Last weeks hike to the Observatory was wonderful. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=61&hikeid=660 2019-06-06 17:07:57 Los Angeles And not one minute later than 10:01am :) I know this is short notice, but I just flew into California from D.C. yesterday and then drove down to LA from SF last night. I know several of you have not been up to the Observatory. The weather seems good for this type of hike. I'm not longer on FaceBook, so if someone would be kind enough to post this hike there I would appreciate it. . . . http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=204&hikeid=659 2019-06-01 22:15:36 Los Angeles Dune is leading this one! It will be a leisurely, easy one. Official name would be something like 'Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve' Follow the directions provided below to get to the parking lot and trailhead, but not the provided address, which is incorrect. The *correct* address for Google Maps is: Western end of, Victory Blvd, Woodland Hills, CA 91367 We'll leave the exact route and mileage up in the air, depending on how the group is feeling. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=150&hikeid=651 2018-07-14 05:50:00 Los Angeles This LA HIKE the GEEK is going to be very south in Palos Verdes, and more of a gentle walk than a hike. But great chance to meet some new people, see some fresh spring flowers and get outside. Bring gloves if you plan to do push ups :) http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=209&hikeid=649 2018-05-19 18:20:50 Los Angeles http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=150&hikeid=645 2017-09-14 19:24:01 Los Angeles If you like, bring food.

If you like, bring an umbrella for the sun. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=206&hikeid=642 2017-04-27 22:11:02 Los Angeles If you have ever wanted to go to Travel town, it opens at 10am, and it is free. That will give you an hour before the hike. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=65&hikeid=639 2017-01-05 20:58:49 Los Angeles For conversation about this, go to the HIKE the GEEK group on FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/2226676785/?ref=br_tf&qsefr=1 - Reichart http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=125&hikeid=637 2016-10-22 20:28:48 Los Angeles This will be a sunset hike. The plan is to hike up to the Observatory from the Trail Cafe below. Bring those items you deem best. I will be bringing gloves, a shovel, and some duct tape. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=204&hikeid=636 2016-09-16 09:29:20 Los Angeles Your hike master is Luke Cockerham, visiting from one of the friendliest countries in the world. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=203&hikeid=635 2016-08-17 23:16:56 Los Angeles Hello all, Yes, this is an early hike! 8:08am But, this will be the first hard hike I have done since my recovery for the past half year.

I can't do a hard hike, but I can walk (due to some recent surgeries). If you want to go for a nice Sunday stroll around the reservoir and talk about the amazing future before us, this is the place to be. - Reichart http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=94&hikeid=626 2016-02-04 08:12:17 Los Angeles Alexis, Adler and Matt are leading the dog friendly hike... bring water, hats and sunscreen, and your leashed dogs & poop bags (if you have them!). http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=6&hikeid=625 2015-12-26 11:03:20 Los Angeles http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=165&hikeid=623 2015-10-05 23:19:52 Los Angeles Danelle Vierkant wrote "Meeting 809 N Azusa Ave, Azusa, CA 91702 meeting at this location at 8am to consolidate cars because parking at the trail-head is very limited." http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=196&hikeid=618 2015-04-15 18:12:55 Los Angeles http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=195&hikeid=617 2015-03-10 11:14:08 Los Angeles With the recent rain, the lower trail is bound to be a bit muddy. As such, shoes with thick treads are recommended. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=151&hikeid=615 2014-11-01 22:27:13 Los Angeles http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=13&hikeid=614 2014-10-23 19:50:12 Los Angeles We'll be including the extended version of this hike for some extra miles. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=105&hikeid=613 2014-10-17 10:32:07 Los Angeles There is a suspicion of a $12 parking fee, so if that is the case, consider parking for free on Mulholland, about 0.2 miles from the big lot. Swimming is possible, so dress/pack accordingly. http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=125&hikeid=612 2014-09-11 21:45:53 Los Angeles http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=192&hikeid=609 2014-09-06 09:59:18 Los Angeles Josh is back, and will be leading us on this hike, one of his favorites! http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=61&hikeid=599 2014-04-17 09:14:22 Los Angeles Marty's Detour!!! Instead of the normal path, Marty will be leading up a smaller ridge trail to a peak off of Mineral Wells Trial. This peak has excellent views of Burbank and LA. We will come back over the normal leisurely path back to the merry-go-round parking lot. The weather is predicted to be a comfortable 65-75 degrees during the hike. If you want to try a smaller trail in Griffith park this is for you! http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=6&hikeid=597 2014-04-03 12:15:21 Los Angeles This weeks hike will be lead by the fun loving Dougie Campbell! http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=156&hikeid=595 2014-03-28 10:58:36 Los Angeles The awesome Sabrina will be leading this hike! http://www.hikethegeek.com/LA/Hikes/details.php?loc=61&hikeid=594 2014-03-15 00:17:46 Los Angeles This hike will be led by Chris Hughes and JZ!
