Let’s all go to this. All of us. Specifically Nam Vet and Bugg.

And, while I’ve got you, please don’t make more than one thread about a given topic. One is plenty. I’ve moved this thread over to the Pets section, which seems to be the best fit.

Sorry, didn’t know there was a limit, I was just trying to get the word out in as many avenues as I could. :)

I hope anyone who is even the least bit interested decides to come out. This should be a fun little event and Karen is very excited to meet fellow dog hikers. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!
