Just a mild bump...get there early if you want a seat! I'll have a slide show of photos from my first Camino, as well as my most recent Camino in Portugal.
The key is you have to be a member of APOC. As a co-founder of the Portlandia Chapter and someone who decided it wasn't worth the $50/yr to continue to be a member of APOC, I gave up my leadership role since it is a requirement to be a dues paying member to serve as a leader. You could easily...
:) When I was in Israel, on the Mount of Beatitudes, I met a couple from Oregon who lived ten miles from where I grew up. The world is small indeed! If Jim is still around he's in his late 80's or early 90's. He would know pilgrims.
Cool! I wish I would have known earlier, we could have connected while I was in Montana this summer. I'm sure if you ask around you'll find pilgrims in Missoula. They're in the places you least expect! If Fr. Jim Hogan is still alive, he might know some pilgrims. Christ the King Catholic Church...
I ran into a young guy from Bozeman on my Camino. He was oblivious to the Cat-Griz rivalry, which I found funny! What part of Montana do you live in? I lived in Missoula and Darby. Just went to GNP this past summer to do some backpacking.

I hope your wife has a speedy recovery. Foot surgery is never fun!
I spoke with Kathy this past weekend at our APOC Chapter walk in Portland and there still was no one signed up. I hope that changes! I was hoping to help out but I will be somewhere in Spain...either in Santiago, or on my way...

Feel free to moderate all the comments then...I think Sil is right....sounds like a troll. And falcon, I didn't have time to go through and see what posts the other person had posted...it's nice to know a former Oregonian thinks I am an asshole...I'll add it to the list. :)
Thank you!
