Not. Hobocentral is.
Not. Hobocentral is.
If Traildays were Vegas - Hobocentral is the Old Strip and Billville is the New Strip (without Celiene Dion). If you skip out on either, you are missing something.
...um....there are lectures?
I remember a big fire and something about moonshine...
oh yeah!...and a water-dunk contest...
The website could use a map!
I see it says near campground but what/where is the Bingo & Training Center? Anyone have a GPS coordinates? LOL... ;)

I was speaking commercially, not realistically.:banana
Its like the Veteran and the new kid, both have style, both have charisma, both have their own voice and I love them both.
Life under the tressel is sweet!
I still need to pick up a new BB shirt for the new hike, mine is in shreds.
I tried to wear it and it feel off my arms...any available out there for a West Coast romp?
:D

WHAT? No Celiene this year?:D :D
That pretty much sums it up...without the mob hits.

Hey, Sly, the map page is here: http://www.traildays.info/parking.html
The Bingo Hall is next to the campground. GPS coordinates will follow.
If you're there Friday, don't miss "Walking with Freedom" at noon.
Definately see the talent show and the hiker parade is a blast.
Try and hit the chicken bbq put on at the fire hall in town.
If you don't own a copy of one of Model-T's books, get one and meet him at his book signing. Great guy.
Useless gear contest is a hoot! Now if I can only figure out when.......

See WeatherCarrot's presentation. His DVD is excellent on the PCT.

I must be going blind. I don't see Weathercarrot listed to do a presentation, and if I'm not mistaken he'll be out West on the PCT during Trail Days.

Weathercarrot is not doing a presentation at Trail Days, I wish he were.
He will however perform a presentation at the Gathering.
Weathercarrot has constructed ALDHA's 25th anniversary DVD. It will be premiered at the Gathering. This DVD has exceeded anything he has ever done. I'm still not sure how he does it.
Classic.
If you don't attend the Gathering this year, you will be missing a LOT.
I'm sure if anyone has questions or interests, his email address isn't hard to find. :-?

Got my GPS running. Will do a drive by of the campground. Don't want to stay too long due to the toxic chemicals there.
