Backpacking workshops
The least favorite part of my “job” is having to retrieve hikers from the trail that were poorly prepared for the trip. They are usually bewildered and embarrassed and often physically and emotionally exhausted! I feel so bad for them sometimes… SOMETIMES I want to kick their butts! (Some people should not be allowed to plan their own hikes!) Their is no real way the be prepared for everything and there always is that FIRST hike which will teach you sooo much. I am planning a series of Backpacking Workshops to be hosted by Miss Janet’s House and led by “Experienced” long distances backpackers. The goal is to make a hands on learning experience that will cover the basics of backpacking for beginners and other workshops planned to cover special topics and needs. I am putting together a online group of advisers to aid me in planning so drop me a line if you are interested in helping me. This is turning into a MAJOR project now that the Forest Service is involved.

Hey Miss J, the thank-you is in the mail.

Rowboat and I will be headed south for a weekend for Operation Leki Lift sometime after that meat-lick gets back from his hike. Late October-november maybe? Whatever you need, count me in, I owe you one. I’m sure he’ll be in as well.

stay cool
