I'm speaking on Sept 29, 2011 at the REI in Richmond, Virginia on hiking for women! Plenty of space still, but you have to sign up. Free. Don't let the long distance thing get to you either- it's also about general backpacking and sharing ideas. :)

Event Location: Richmond REI (http://www.rei.com/map/store/127)

The title reminds me of the old men's toast, "To our wives and sweethearts--may they never meet!"

Seriously, though, the event sounds great. My wife decided to hike the AT solo after meeting a solo woman hiker at The Place in Damascus when we were on a XC bicycle tour. I hope you similarly inspire some people.

Still have plenty of space. If you're in the neighborhood, come on over.
