Andy Skurka: Far, Fast, & Light: 23,000 Miles of Backpacking in America's Wild Lands- Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 7 PM at the Boardman River Nature Center- The presentation will encompass many of Andrew's hikes and outdoor experiences starting with his early trips to the mountains of New Hampshire and Maine, moving on to his first steps on the Appalachian Trail, an exhilarating trek around the West, and his adventures in exotic destinations like Alaska and Iceland. With a mix of photos and video clips, he'll share his most entertaining, inspiring, and heart-warming stories, and will highlight what he believes are the most important life lessons that he's learned through them. The presentation will last about 45 minutes and it will be followed by a 15-minute Q&A session. TheNature Center is on Cass Rd, 1.5 miles south of South Airport Rd, on the left just after the railroad tracks. A $5.00 admission charge will help defray Andrew's travel expenses. For more info you can phone a Grand Traverse Hiking Club member, June, at 947-8476.

Have fun partaking in all of some of the above activities,
