As you follow along on her journey north\, you can expect to learn how someone prepares for a multi-month trip to be self-sufficient in the back country and hear stories of trail culture and personal experiences of life on the trail. \n\nMark your calendars and bring your lunches!\nYou won’t want to miss this! \nPlease bring your lunch and enjoy the presentation.\nThis presentation is free to the public.\nDonations made to Save Our Mountains Foundation are much appreciated.
