Welcome to the 2007 California Pack Trials Companion By GPN staff

Each year, the GPN staff heads to California for an intense week of variety trials. Since we hit the road and travel to the trials sites just like you, we know how important it is to get and stay organized. That is why we put together the Pack Trials Companion each year. We contact the breeder/marketer companies, get directions, and find hotels and restaurants, so you only need to plan your itinerary with the help of our Companion.

Use the Companion to plan your trip, but don't forget to take it with you when you go to California, too — you never know when you will need the contact numbers, addresses, maps and directions for each company. You will want to be sure you have all of this information at your fingertips to help find your way.

Look for the GPN staff on the road, at the sites and even at some of the hotels and restaurants listed in the Companion. The editorial staff would love to know how the trials are going for you. You can send us your Pack Trials thoughts at thodson@sgcmail.com. Also, feel free to send along any hotel, restaurant or sightseeing recommendations you might have. We will try to include them in the 2008 Pack Trials Companion.

Good luck with your planning, and we'll see you in California!
