I don't see that you've had any responses. I would love to participate, however, the price of fuel prohibits my travel. I guess I'll be walking here in Klamath Falls. :)

thank-you, i'am giving-up,

don't give up! i didn't respond because i don't live anywhere near where you are. why don't you go to a fitness store and put up signs advertising your group?

good idea, as long as they are not into extreame hiking, we are not ready for that yet but close, thanx

well, you can describe yourselves as a beginning hiking group! good luck. let us know how this works out for you.
