They have a lot of things going in the Pacific Northwest - none of them too far away. Would love to take advantage of one of these. What do you think, Deb???

The Sierra Club and the American Hiking Society sponsor trips. Check out their websites. Apparently Kermit the Frog was wrong --it IS easy being green! I'll keep adding more trips here as I find out more. Deb, more wilderness related trips are popping up every day! The Sierra Club and the American Hiking Society sponsor trips.

Dec 27th to January 6th--what better way to start the new year. Check out the AFC website ( given above) for more info and full details about the trip! To help in Italy try the Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity--both are involved and always looking for volunteers. Let me know where you end up! Would love to hear about it.

Also, since I live in Texas, do you know of anything close to the Dallas/Fort Worth area? I know there is a Habitate for Humanity, but do you know of anyother options? Thanks, I always check your site first and I've introduced your beautiful and informative book to all my friends! Can you give me more specifics on Washington State volunteer options?
