Hi Laura,

I live in Tucson and will be starting my Camino from St. Jean on Sept 2, 2012. I'm very excited, can't wait wish I could skip July and August and wake up in September. I'm sure this is going to be the time of my life!

Are there any other Tucsonans starting around the same time?????

Hi Arlene. I live about 20 miles from Tucson. I will be (re)starting in Lorgroño on September 5th. Looks like I will be about a week ahead of you at the start, but I will be walking slowly. Perhaps we will cross paths. Feel free to send me a message if you want to compare notes over the summer.

Hi Arlene,
I live in Denver and am starting from Roncesvalles on the 1st or 2nd of Sept. Maybe we'll run into each other! -Cindy (going solo and a first-timer)

Awesome, then you can make sure all the people in the backpacks section realize that the camino doesn't require a 60l+ pack like they tried to sell me first time I was in the PV REI looking for packs.

I finally ended up buying the Talon 33 which is, I believe, what you used. The sales guy had your gear list and suggested it (I missed you by about an hour that day apparently). I like it but am going to have to return it as it's way too much volume for my needs and since there's no frame, when it's 1/3 empty it doesn't carry well. The guy also sold me the wrong size which would mean I'd have to return it anyway.
