Welcome, Jeff.

There are a number of American Pilgrim groups in California and you may want to look into that if you are not already connected.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
This is Jeff from Santa Cruz, Calif., I have been dreaming about this journey for three years and finally I am free to begin my journey from St Jean to Santiago de Compostela on Sept. 17, 2018.

I'll be a day behind you, Jeff :) My backpack has this patch on it from the Forum store, so feel free to say 'hi' if you see it.

And Buen Camino, Pilgrim:cool:
 
Hi Jeff

We start from SJPP on the 26th of Sept. Three of us old guys from Burlingame did the CF two years ago at the same time. We are back this year to introduce one member to the walk from SJPP to Pamplona, then a plane to Porto for the Portuguese Camino.

We did just fine on our own two years ago, but this forum is just full of info; so be sure to take advantage of it.

Buen Camino

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Happy for you that your dream is being realized now, you are looking forward to an amazing experience.
I’ll be two days ahead of you but maybe we meet on the trail. Buen camino.
Best, chris
