I found out that the Phoenix chapter is not currently active.

There is a chapter in Tucson


and Flagstaff


Before my first Camino I typed the name of my hometown into the search box and found a forum member who was willing to meet with me and share her experiences. Since then, another forum member in my area contacted me through the forum. Together, we began the local American Pilgrims on the Camino group here in Southern Oregon.
 
Thanks. I will contact them to see if they know of anyone in the phoenix area willing to help.

Before my first camino I'd watched a couple of camino blogs and discovered one couple lived a 45 minute drive away, so I contacted them. We met up for coffee and as a newbie, I had lots of questions for them as I was not yet on this forum. Since then I've met up @peregrina2000 (Laurie), Joe Flavin and Tom A. There is an APOC chapter in the Chicago area, but I've not attended their gatherings as it's a bit too far away. I do plan a yearly "camino mini reunion" with three camino friends and enjoy doing that.

Hey, Chris,
I wonder if it is worth another try to see if we can get a few more people for a non-Chicago APOC chapter. I know APOC will send emails to all their members in the area we are considering. Like you, the Chicago location is a bit too far away. Maybe you could organize a non-Chicago-APOC-northern-Illinois group, and I could go for the central and southern branch. I do love helping people on the forum, but in-person contacts are always so much more fun. @jpflavin1 and I once met in a Mexican restaurant, in Onarga or someplace like that. It was convenient for us two, but probably too far away for you.
 
Hi Laurie,
Chicago is not only a bit too far away, but I also am not a fan of big city driving.
A good thought about an APOC chapter/s closer to our homes! 😉
