HTXO Happy Hour plus Volleyball! Friday, January 4, 2019 - 6 PM – 9 PM Sideout Volleybar 2623 Keene St, Houston, TX 77009 Are you looking for more than just another happy hour? Our happy hour and volleyball event is a great introductory event to help you get active outdoors and to meet other people who are also looking for more than just happy hour. Plus having games to focus on, helps remove some of the awkward pauses that can happen the first time you meet someone. And the best part… you’re meeting people who with similar interests. Not just people interested in happy hour or volleyball. The group of people who attend this event are looking for new friends who want to explore Houston, try new things, and get outdoors! No experience required for volleyball We’ll spend a little time warming up and going through the rules. Then we’ll play a few games… we can get as competitive as you all want, but mostly, we’re there to have fun. We’re an inclusive group which means we still hit the ball to new players who may or may not be able to return it. It’s the only way people can get better! Don’t want to play volleyball? No problem! Plenty of people come out just to socialize on the large patio, play a game of cornhole or ping pong! Plus, they have a full bar and food truck. What to expect: Getting there: You can’t see Sideout from the street near the railroad tracks. Once you turn, you’ll see a large dark parking lot. Sideout is at the very end of the parking lot and fully lit when you get there. Parking: FREE PARKING and there is plenty of it! The parking lot is overflow parking for While Oak Music Hall (WOMH). If there is an event at WOMH, you might see a parking attendee collecting money for parking. Just tell them that you’re there for volleyball and you don’t have to pay to park. How to find the group: The venue is not usually packed. When you walk in, turn to the right and follow the patio towards the building. We usually setup a table with an HTXoutdoors sign outside of the door that leads inside the building. If you get to the ping pong table or the dog park, just turn around and you’ll probably see us on the right. If you don’t see the HTXoutdoors sign, ask the bar tender. They usually know where we are. We usually play on Court 1 which is the court closest to the bar. About the group you’re meeting: Because this event is open to everyone, we get a lot of people who are coming out for the first time! That means not everyone knows each other yet so you don’t have to worry about crashing a group of people who have been friends for years. So if everyone is chatting up a storm when you get there, it’s just because they have quickly realized they have a lot in common. And even when some of the people know each other, they are still there to meet more people with similar interest. Dog & Kid Friendly: Dog-Friendly for friendly dogs. Dog must be on a leash… UNLESS… you let them loose in the dog park attached to the patio! Kid-Friendly for friendly kids until 9pm. After 9pm, the venue turns to 21+. Who is HTXoutdoors? If you have been looking for a group to explore Houston, do outdoor activities and meet people with similar interests, you have finally found it! We are Houstonians (new, original and somewhere in between) in our 20’s & 30’s and we love the outdoors! With a zest for adventure, we have day trips, weekend trips & international trips. So if you have 2 weeks of vacation or “unlimited”…you can find new adventures to fit your schedule. Come out and meet others interested in hiking, biking, camping, kayaking, rock climbing and more! It’s a good chance to meet each other. It’s an even better chance to plan some adventures.

HTXO New Years Day Night Hike Tuesday, January 1, 2019 at 6:15 PM – 8 PM Meet at Memorial Park Rugby Field N Picnic Ln, Houston, Texas, 77007 Celebrate the new year, sleep in, have brunch... then join us for a night hike! A perfect way to start your new year on the right foot! We'll hike on actual trails inside the loop of Houston! What to bring: ** Headlamp or light source (the trees get thick so you'll need it) ** Water! Stay hydrated. It is also good practice to hydrate before your activity ** Bug Spray ** Wear long pants ** Wear sturdy shoes that are okay to get muddy ** After the hike, we’ll pick a place and grab something to eat! Arrive Early! We start hiking at 6:30 sharp from the Rugby Fields. With this many people, the hike will be slower than normal. We will go as far as we can. Expect to walk between 2-4 miles (we'll go the pace of the group). Also, with such a large group, we cannot wait for you if you're running late. Plan to arrive early so you can find a parking spot & get checked in by 6:20 Dinner After the Hike We'll head to Canyon Creek for dinner after the hike. The patio is dog friendly. Friendly Dogs Allowed If your dog is friendly, can handle being around large groups of people/other dogs and can handle hiking at night, feel free to bring your dog. Be sure to bring water for your dog. Teenage kids and up; no strollers We are on actual trails, even when people bring the Jeep Strollers, they end up having to carry the stroller in places they they turn around. Not appropriate for small children as the pace tends to be too face for them to keep up. What happens if it is raining We do not cancel before the of the event, and even then, we only cancel if it's dangerous. If it is raining a little, we will still go but we will alter the route. Hiking on wet trails cause erosion and is expensive to fix. Trails are closed after heavy rains. We will follow the rules for open / closed trails and adjust the route accordingly. Leave No Trace Put any empty bottles or trash in the garbage cans. Do not throw garbage on the ground. Noone is there to clean up after you.

HTXO Full Moon Hike January 1, 2018 - 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm Meet at Memorial Park - Rugby Fields N Picnic Ln Houston, Texas, 77007 We’re bringing the Full Moon Hike back to the Public. We haven’t done this since over 200 people showed up to the August full moon hike. This will be the last Public Full Moon Hike we do in 2018 (yes, I know 2018 hasn’t started yet…) After this hike, we are closing our full moon hikes for members.) At its sight, this primal side of you might take over. Ever heard of the lunar lunacy effect or the Transylvania effect? While I am happy to report that no one has transformed at HTXoutdoors on a full moon hike…YET, but we do believe in celebrating its beauty with a nice hike. About the Trail: We are hiking on an actual trail with hills! Yes, right here in Houston! This it not a pathed path which makes it interesting when you hike back at night, in the dark! What to bring: Headlamp or light source (the trees get thick so you’ll need it) Water! Stay hydrated. It is also good practice to hydrate before your activity Bug Spray Wear long pants Wear sturdy shoes that are okay to get muddy After the hike, we’ll pick a place and grab something to eat! Arrive Early! We start hiking at 6:45 sharp from the Rugby Fields With this many people, the hike will be slower than normal. We will go as far as we can. Expect to walk between 2-4 miles. (we’ll go the pace of the group.) Also, with such a large group, we cannot wait for you if you’re running late. Plan to arrive early so you can find a parking spot & get checked in by 6:35 CAR BREAK-INS ARE COMMON Cars DO get broken into in these parking lots. You are responsible for your own cars. If you don’t want it taken, don’t leave it in your car! NOTE: We will not answer calls before or during the event. It is not feasible with this many people. Please read the map below and if you are unsure about where to go, scout it or contact us before the day of the event. Will we see the full moon? There is no guarantee that we will see the full moon. If it’s cloudy, we might not see it at all. Bring a light source. Flash light, head lamp, phone light. It will be dark but the end of the hike. Bring a source of light. Water is required! It is hot. Bring at least 20 oz of water to carry with you on the hike. There is not water available at the check in points or during the hike. Everyone is responsible for bringing their own water. Friendly, Healthy Dogs Allowed!! If your dog is friendly, can handle being around large groups of people/other dogs and can handle hiking at night, feel free to bring your dog. Be sure to bring water for your dog. What happens if it is raining We do not cancel before the of the event, and even then, we only cancel if it’s dangerous. If it is raining a little, we will still go but we will alter the route. Hiking on wet trails cause erosion and is expensive to fix. Trails are closed after heavy rains. We will follow the rules for open / closed trails and adjust the route accordingly. Leave No Trace Put any empty bottles or trash in the garbage cans. Do not throw garbage on the ground. Noone is there to clean up after you.
