any way. Sorry your for the wrong party. I'm campaigning for 
"McCain/Paylin" I want to continue to Hunt, fish and Backpack. I did not 
know that we talked about political parties on the list but since you did, I 
just responded Thanks   And

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,
