Buen Camino!

I'm from sunny Tacoma, and my wife and I are starting in April. We'll have to compare notes and see whether spring or autumn is a lovelier Camino.

Welcome.
There is a Puget Sound Pilgrim group that informally meets throughout the year.
2nd Sunday each month...a short walk from Ballard Locks and around Discovery Park 5 miles
Next Saturday. 9 Feb is a talk at REI in Seattle. Still time to sign up on the REI.Com website
Many other get togethers during the year. The turnout is about 60% people thinking or planning a Camino for the first time and the rest experienced Pilgrims. A great place to get some information and meet some peple with a similiar interest.

Here is the email address to get on the mailing list:
