Supposedly there are some new places popping up as well. Castle Rock and the Pinnacles are not far from here. The …

If from the right sources, it can be totally carbon neutral. It is cheaper than gas or diesel.

People will not be dropped on rides, but I also don't want people to have to wait excessively long periods of time for beginners.  With all that said, the rides w …

We are all descendants of farmers who worked their available land to produce the most nutritious food needed for health and survival. Today we are technically evolved yet disconnected from the farming process.  As a result our food supply has been jeopardized by a large centralized system that we are paying for with higher food costs, lower nutritional value and poorer overall health.  It is now time to seek  the knowledge of our farming ancestors by taking a different look at how our communitie …

Environmental design, landscape, and horticulture/agriculture issues will continue to be a growing field! I'm seeking members who want to balance both practice and theory to engage in meaningful projects that either build our skills, or make a profit. I believe this approach is the best way for communities to prosper. A good way to achieve this would be to use environmental design programs, such as Foothill and UC Berkeley as templates. Here are some careers that these programs influence; Arbori …

They say you are the average of the 5 people you hang out with the most. That's tough when you are a young business owner, and most of your friends are still earning a yearly salary. I started this group for young business owners to meet others on the same journey as them. This group is for young business owners working towards building a 7 figure business. While this may include a tech startup, this meetup is not specifically geared towards those-if only because there are a lot of those groups …

Transform every aspect of your life. “The most exciting breakthroughs of the 21st century will not occur because of technology but because of an expanding concept of what it means to be human." John Naisbitt, Author - Megatrends Too often, we attempt to compartmentalize our lives into the roles we play: boss, mother, co-worker, sister, accountant, caretaker, or husband. There are so many hats to wear and only so many hours in which to get everything done. At the end of the day we're left wonderi …

What ideas can we implement to help influence larger bodies of the community and government? Our focus is on ideas that we can implement where we are and whose impact can be measur …

Tell me if any of these sound familiar: “I just wish I had the time — then I’d do my creative thing.” “I want to… but I don’t have the talent. I’m not creative..” “My stuff just isn’t good enough.” “How can I justify spending time creating, when there are so many really important things I have to get done?” “I want to create so badly, so why do I always end up procrastinating?” “I’m a very creative person but unable to find a way to express myself.” “I have lots of huge, long term projects start …
