Just a personal invitation for all of you who completed the AZT this year to come out and enjoy some "total AZT immersion." I could be persuaded to buy you a beverage in recognition of your accomplishment.

ATA Members Rendezvous

Mark your calendars now for the ATA’s Annual Members Rendezvous. It will be held from Friday, October 5th to Sunday, October 7th at, of course, the Mormon Lake Lodge. It’s always a great weekend at the Rendezvous. Details and registration information can be found on the rendezvous page http://www.aztrail.org/trail_day/rendezvous2012.html

Sounds like a fun event. I should be on the road somewhere between Minnesota and Arizona during that time

Bump
The Rendezvous is this weekend, hope to see some of you new "graduates" there to celebrate.

There is an item up for bid in the silent auction at the Rendezvous that might be of interest to AZT hikers-

Trail Angel- shuttle service between any two trailheads. An experienced Arizona Trail hiker will meet you at any trailhead and shuttle you to any other official trailhead on the AZT.

Bids can be sent to Gateway@aztrail.org, bidding closest at 6 pm October 6th.

Shawn-
Hey Man, you going to renew this invitation/offer for 2013? Could you be persuaded? I could use a pint after having bushwhacked McFarland Creek… or was that Boulder Creek?

Offer renewed! Catch me if you can . . . .

Here's a link to the silent auction items. Note the Garmin Navigation Package-I'm pretty sure it's a Garmin 62 (something) and the chip for the AZT on 1:24k map.
