hiking bloggers “meetup”, Shasta California

Thanks to Tom Magnan’s excellent Two-Heel Drive blog, I am now booked to attend the first ever “Outdoor Blogger Ho Down Oct. 6-8, 2006“.

Strange name. But what could be more natural than those who blog about hiking getting together in the wilderness to scramble a peak and exchange notes?

I expect to learn a lot.

We are tentatively scheduled to rendezvous at Horse Camp in the Mt. Shasta Wilderness about 6hrs out of San Francisco.

This is what blogging is all about. Using the internet to enrich the lives of online communities — in this case hikers.
