Looking for Someone to Get Into Backpacking Shape With

Hi.  I am trying to find someone to hike with that is getting back into shape also to work up to backpacking.  I've always wanted to backpack, but it's really hard to find someone who wants to go out early on the weekends and it gets boring to go by myself all the time.  Full disclosure because I don't want to slow anyone down, I WAS hiking at an intermediate level last summer, but I let myself get out of shape so I'm working my way back up and would love to have a partner to keep me company. 

Please reply if interested. I'm in Orange County.
