Friday March 26th  6:00 – 7:00PM

Meet Alex “Padre” Miller as he discusses his 2009 thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. Padre has backpacked more than 4,000 miles and is an avid hiker and paddler.  Bring questions, gear, and a sense of adventure.  Let Alex help you get ready for your next excursion whether it is a walk around the State Park or an extended trek.

Besides the nitty gritty hiking details we will also be discussing some excellent books related to hiking and backpacking for all ages!

Our first selection will be Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay.  We will hand out the book at our first meeting.

We look forward to seeing you there.
