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_ (mailto: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!
