2006 Outdoor Blogger Hoedown
This weekend I attended the first annual 2006 "Outdoor Blogger Hoedown" near Mt. Shasta.
The storm front that passed through California last week had moved on and we were treated to three near perfect Indian Summer days. Interesting conversation, some light hiking and two of the best camp dinners I've ever had.
The 2006 Bloggers along the PCT with Mt Shasta in the distance.

One of the benefits of being the slowest to post is that you get to be the aggregator. Here's what the other bloggers had to write about the weekend:
Tom Mangan's Two Heel Drive: Photo Journal , Tom's Impressions of the Bloggers
Russ Beebe's Winehiker: Overview Post
Tom Chandler's Trout Underground: Friday Night, Saturday's Hike
Climb CA's GetOutdoors: Overview Post
Rick McCharles's Best Hikes: Overview Post, Photos on Flickr
Sze-ting's LittlePo: Hmm, guess I'm not the last to post. 
Pictures are coming soon. Apologies to those who hit the site from the RSS feed looking for them. (Forgot to remove permissions after uploading, I'll get them back accessable once I've got the captions written)
When posted, they'll be here.
p.s. 'Hoedown' has an 'e'. A 'Ho Down' is something else entirely.

Lets lose the “Ho Down” and the “Hoedown”. I’m from Calgary — home of the Calgary Stampede — and a little sensitive about anything to do with faux rodeos or western traditional culture.

Hmm — we could call it a “conference”, but then we’d have to rent a large corporate facility and be all formal and stuff. We hikers would rather be outdoors and spend our bucks on food and wine, right?
So let’s call next year’s doin’s a hoodang!
