"STAY PREPPY MY FRIENDS"

Ivy Prepster is just a few years old, the brand has grown to satisfy everything you'll need to complete your collegiate-inspired outfit. The brand is inspired by the resurgence of the tie in the male wardrobe and the modern prep movement, Ivy Prepster neckwear reflects the past, the present and future of knit ties. They reflect classic tie patterns, such as stripes and dots, as well as sweater-like argyle and fair isle motifs. Every Ivy Prepster knit tie is designed in the USA and handmade in Shanghai. Boy, I like that navy tie with anchor. "Stay Preppy my friend" they say at Ivy Prepster.

Upcoming Hikes for the Coachella Valley Meet up Group + Websites

Here is the Mt San Jacinto Hiking Club Schedule

http://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Coachella-Valley/
http://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Coachella-Valley

This hiking group is for people who like to undertake challenging hikes and climbs in and around the Coachella Valley, as well as all of Southern California and the Sierras. We hike Mt. San Jacinto, San Gorgonio, Baldy and Mt. Shasta, just to name a few. Our hikes range from approximately 10-20 miles and may gain at least 2000 feet to over 10,000 feet of elevation. Our hikes are moderate to very strenuous. Some of our hikes include Skyline, Cactus to Clouds, Vivian Creek, South Fork and routes on Baldy. We also do a good bit of mountaineering and go to the summits of San Jacinto, San Gorgonio, Mt. Baldy and Mt. Shasta in the snow or ice using crampons, ice axes and full on winter gear. In addition, there are many desert hikes that we do in the winter, such as Jo Pond and the Guadalupe to Sugarloaf, as well as Painted Canyon in Mecca and many trails in Joshua Tree National Park. Our hikes typically last at least 6-15 hours and require preparation and care. Join this group if you love the outdoors, adventure, challenging hikes or climbs, intense workouts in nature, unpredictable weather and wonderful camaraderie with other like-minded outdoor enthusiasts. We also welcome hike organizers, so if you are interested in leading your favorite hikes, we would love to have you join our leadership team.
