[pct-l] pct hiker campaigning for Obama needs Nevada host

[Laraine Downer]

Hello to everyone in pct-l list land. I've volunteered to go to Nevada to campaign for Obama for President! The campaign is matching up volunteers with local hosts but I thought I'd try to rely on my own resources first.
 
Does anyone live in Reno/Sparks area or know someone who does? Would they be willing to host me for all or part? (the need is mostly for sleeping & showering, they wouldn't see much of me)
 
Dates I plan to be there are from 10/1 - 19 and again 10/30 - 11/5.
 
During my recent section hike of Oregon, I was lucky enough to be at Timberline Lodge and watch the 2nd & 3rd nites of the Demo convention. Realized that what I needed to do was get back home and help effect change in our government - so I ended my hike at the Columbia River rather than proceeding into Washington*. Met some great people and had a wonderful time.
 
*plus it felt to me like an early winter was coming on and I'd never get to the monument in time.
 
Thanks for your consideration,
