At the end of December a bunch of us were posting our "Big Sky Blues" regarding the forever wait for our Evolution tents. At that time I suggested that new Evolution owners could meet at this year's ADZPCTKO. This is a weekend campout kick off for those hiking the PCT in 2007, and other interested hikers. This year it takes place Friday, April 27 thru Sunday, April 29. As a section hiker, I have attended for the past two years and had a great time meeting folks we all read about. Yogi, Gottago, One Gallon, Meadow Ed, Billygoat, Shamu's Trainer, Lookout & Hugemongous, Santa, and many more. Go to the ADZPCTKO home page and check it out.
For you gearheads there have been a number of equipment manufacturers showing off their goods: Big Sky (bring your tar and feathers), ULA, Gossamer Gear, Tarp Tent, LuxuryLite, Leki, Six Moon Designs, and more. There are also workshops, lectures, slide shows, movies and a silent auction.
If you are interested post me a PM and lets begin to get organized. Reservations open this month and if we get a group together I suggest reserving adjacent campsites. The camping is free and they feed us too. I usually give them a generous donation and my heartfelt thanks for the effort.
