Adzpctko 2008

[chai guy]

From The ADZPCTKO website:

The 10th Annual Day Zero Pacific Crest Trail Kick Off (ADZPCTKO) will be held on April 25th thru 27th at Lake Morena County Park--just 20.1 miles by trail, about 7 miles by crow, from the U.S.-Mexico border. At the kickoff you'll encounter good people, great presentations, fair food, a few quality vendors, and several key non-profit organizations. Past thru-hikers, ancient thru-hikers, trail angels, and supporters gather to give those aspiring to thru-hike or take on a significant PCT section a bit of education, some great inspiration, and the butterfly-killing experiences of those who have gone before. Come join us in sending off another year's group and enjoy the fantastic camaraderie, energy, and passion that we, the trail community, all share.

Registration Opens in February 2008

I'll be attending this years event. Hope to see old friends from the AT this year and make some new one's. I know all gatherings have their controversies, but there are choices each hiker and attendees can make. Looking forward to seeing, listening and learning more about the PCT and how I might be able to get involved with her health.
I'll be planning my hike for 2010 too.

I'll be there as well. Friday-Sunday.

Looking forward in meeting everyone. :)

This is really last minute, but I am going to give it a try. My name's Laces, I am planning on through hiking the PCT this year. I am flying to San Diego on Tuesday and planning on staying in a youth hostel or something and taking in the museums for a day or so before going to the kickoff and then starting my hike. But... I need a ride to the kickoff. Anyone have extra room? If you do, you can call me at 917-528-1102. thanks, Laces
