[pct-l] Women Trekkers

[marmot marmot]

We don't hike differently. Years ago we stopped doing these workshops at the Gathering. But then women requested that we start them again. I would love that the need went away. This is not a comment on Yogi's views. In my opinion her value to the trail community is endless and remarkable. For as long as we are asked to give these workshops-- we will. Giving each other support does not diminish what we do. We can be the fastest,strongest,most skilled and,most important to me,do the trails in exactly the manner we choose. Marmot

We would like to  invite all experienced women hikers who will be attending to join us to help answer questions. We hope to make connections between the women out there on the PCT so that we can support each other in the hike. I know this online forum is useful but I think being in a room with real people makes a big difference.Last year we had 30 plus women asking and answering questions that they might not have been comfortable doing elsewhere. That's why I have always loved going to the Gatherings. Also come by the the ALDHAwest table or campsite 5 for any help --questions--chatting--last minute calming of nerves. Remember long distance hiking is fun That's why I do it.Marmot
