Our Mission Statement & Outreach
Our primary objective is to HAVE FUN...and we've certainly achieved that goal during the last eight years!
Semi-officially, the Great Geezer Getaway Guys' unique purpose embraces friendship, trust, nature's endless panoramas, conserving historic landmarks, encounters with fellow travelers and campers...and giving back to the Southern Nevada community (and to each other). Our warm young-at-heart camaraderie as widowed retirees has been forged on unusual coincidences that have fostered a strong bond, the pleasure of discovering new sights and experiences, and a passion for the beauty of the Great Outdoors' bounteous treasure chest of options.
Our paramount objective is to share the Getaway Geezers' wanderlust adventures with other seniors (and our friends) to motivate them to also savor the healthy, outdoor environment around them. Just get outdoors and do it!
Life is GREAT but short, so take advantage of your time that's left...and HAVE FUN!

Community Outreach
A few years ago, the Getaway Geezers developed an electronic image presentation of their travels accompanied by a live, lighthearted in-person narration of their getaways by Dave and Larry. We had fun recalling and describing the images...and tossing comments back and forth. They gave brief descriptions of each picture, shared anecdotes of interesting experiences encountered along their routes and answered questions from our small audiences with gusto and big smiles.
They provided table-top displays of brochures collected enroute along with the original, travel-worn AAA road maps used on their adventures...with their routes and detours highlighted.
Their audiences were located in senior centers, retirement/assisted living homes, hospitals, rehab centers and more.
Sadly, the project outlived itself with fewer engagements and smaller audiences, so the presentations ceased. It was fun while it lasted.
