No Mints Adventures

So, what is "No Mints Adventures" ? These are semi-adventurous trips for people where the costs are held to a minimum. Not only are there no mints on your pillow, there are likely no pillows either. These low cost, low support trips are run and organized by myself, Wayne Martin and my wife/partner Margy Marshall . We are retired, so we have a lot of time on our hands and a keen urge to stay active and do a whole bunch of fun exciting trips in our old age. With a fair background in cycling, hiking, and sea kayaking, we figure that we can do a decent job of planning, organizing, and leading various trips both here in the US and overseas. These are trips for self reliant people that are looking for organized, low cost adventures with folks of the same interests and abilities.

Our Mailing List & Future Trips: "This is important!" If you are interested in any of our trips or you think that you might be interested in any of them in the future ….. then make sure you are on our permanent mailing list. Just taking a gander at our web site does not get you on the list. You have to take the initiative by contacting us. In particular, if there is a trip or two down the line you have an interest in, then tell us and we'll automatically update you with information as we begin finalizing the planning.

Information About You! A participant must understand that these are not commercial trips; you will not be supplied with the hand holding care that is generally given on "higher end" trips and therefore we expect most of our participants to be somewhat self-reliant individuals. Most of our trips tend to be of a unique nature that we seldom have done before and, sometimes, things go awry. Often these mishaps are our fault, sometimes they are beyond our control. At any rate, we expect you to accept whatever unexpected and adverse conditions we meet with good humor and grace. Complaining to us about trivial annoyances is not acceptable. If you want and expect a trip that is tightly scheduled with little or no surprises or discomforts ….. our trips are not for you..

Human Specs.: Most of our trips have some sort of combination of physical and skill level expectations. Seldom do we put on trips that encourage absolute beginners in that particular sport …. Rather we expect individuals to have some enthusiasm and background in the activity. You will generally be required to provide your own equipment for whatever trip/sport you sign up for. Each detailed trip description will list our requirements and expectations. If you are unsure whether or not you meet these sometimes nebulous requirements, give us a call or send out an email, and between the two of us, we'll get it sorted out.

Costs: We like to operate our trips at what we consider the "club level" . Most clubs run outings at a low expense level that allow members to participate on a "shared expense" basis. Though we do not represent ourselves as a club, neither do we consider ourselves a business operating for profit. We have expenses in promoting, organizing, and leading these trips, and we expect to be reimbursed for those expenses. Sometimes, but not often, we expect a deposit or full payment in advance of a trip to cover our various incurred expenses on your behalf such as reservations for lodging, transportation, maps, etc. You'll find the details of what we charge along with other anticipated expenses in the detailed description of each trip. Price quotes are normally in US dollars.

Sign Up Procedure - Simply requesting information does not get you signed up. Contact us and officially sign up using our "sign-up form", giving us the particulars for the trip you are interested in joining. We will then tell you on the phone or write you by E-mail, or if necessary Snail Mail, letting you know that you are officially accepted or not. If we do not already have it, we will need your name address, and phone/e-mail.
