Chris Brunton of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (PATC) will give us some history on the "A.T." and tell us what the current programs are and where people would like the Trail to be heading in the future.
Chris knows the Meditation Center and Rolling Ridge intimately, and he helped to build the "Ridge to River Trail" that traverses one border of the Rolling Ridge property and connects the A.T. with the legendary Shenandoah River. Held at FWMC.
Chris is a gifted storyteller and has boundless enthusiasm for the A.T. and the sanctuary which has been entrusted to us.
We will meet at the Treehouse Platform at 10:30 am for a talk by Chris, followed by a bag lunch and a hike up the mountain and along the A.T.
The program will be held, rain or shine, though the hike may be truncated if showers are heavy. (Not to worry; we have put in a request for good weather.)
A modest donation to the Wilderness Center is suggested for this event.
This event is for: All those who love the Appalachian Trail and/or want to know more about it. And all those who would like to hear some good stories and go on an uplifting hike.
Directions: Check with Sheila Bach by phone or e-mail. In case of very bad weather on the day of the event, call Sheila for specifics.
