Yeah. I was meaning more as a compliment, not that you shouldn't go. BJ's is a large place, so if crowded you can join me as I wander around looking at all the nice shiny things to get!

Michael, after reading your post I changed to a no! Didn't want to take the spot from someone new to hiking. =)

After your 4 day tromp through the Andes Rose, you should consider giving the talk. No longer a newbie by far!

I attended this last year and found it very informative/helpful. I was a newbie hiker at the time. I highly recommend. :)
