[at-l] Fwd: [WomenHikers] Pacific Northwest Mini-Ruck

[pudscrawler at aol.com]

Hello, All.? 

Are any of you situated in the Pacific Northwest?? Well, we've got a naturopathic physician who is planning to do a NOBO in 2008.? She cannot leave her practice quite yet to go to a RUCK but wants all the one-on-one conversations and tidbits she would have got if she could.? I suggested that then she should just host a mini-RUCK there in Portland, Oregon, where she and her husband live.

She liked that idea very much and sent out the message below to the Women Hikers group, but asked me to forward it on to at-l and WHITEBLAZE.net.??

Announcing the Pacific Northwest Mini-Ruck: 

Date:         Friday, February 8, 2008, 5pm-ish
Town:         Portland, Oregon.  
Location:     TBA
Refreshments: TBA
Contact/RSVP: Barefoot Sage (Carole),  
                 carewarner at yahoo.com

(NOTE: Please put "NW Mini-Ruck" in the subject line
when you RSVP or write with questions so I'll know
you're not some spammer trying to sell me something to
enlarge my man's dingle dangle or some such craziness.
I delete stuff I don't recognize immediately, and
don't want to miss you!)

If anyone comes from afar and needs a place to put
their sleeping bag for the night, I've got floorspace
(carpeted, so pad is optional) and two bathrooms.

I am waiting until it gets closer to sort out the
exact location depending on how many RSVP.  It's only
for the evening, say 5 or 6pm until we disperse
(hopefully before I turn into a pumpkin at 2 or 3am,
but heck, if it's really rocking I won't complain if
we "Ruck" until sunrise!).  I'm going to post this
announcement at various places and would love it if
you all would pass this on to anyone you think might
be interested in attending or who knows someone who
might.  Experienced hiker folk, newbies and everyone
in between are all welcome.  Bring your pictures (I
can arrange a laptop & projector if you bring your
pics on a CD/DVD), stories packs/gear (if you're
willing to show and tell), questions, etc.

If there are only a few that RSVP I'll probably just
spring for food/drink.  But if it gets sizeable, I'll
ask folks to bring stuff.  I'll keep a running list of
those who RSVP and keep them/you posted on everything
as we get closer.

I start on the AT in the spring, so I'm anxious for
all the input I can get and REALLY excited about
meeting folks.  Many thanks to Kinnikinic for
suggesting it and all her support and coaching to get
me rolling.  YA'LL come!

Barefoot Sage
