The old Bell System (now split up into companies like ATT, Lucent, Telcordia, Agere, Avaya, Verizon, SBC, etc) used to have an ``Outing Club'' which organized Hiking Trips, Biking Trips, Canoeing Trips, Cross Country Ski Trips, Orienteering Trips, etc. At one point in time the club was called the ``Murray Hill Canoe Club''. Its members re-edited and re-published the book ``Little Rivers of New-Jersey''. The club is almost dormant (lately only a few trips every year) but still has a website and a mailing list. See http://www.geocities.com/outingclub if you might be interested. It tells you how to subscribe to the mailing list. Several of the trips advertised on the mailing list lately did not make it into the web site, but were received by members of the mailing list.
