The Good, The Bad, and the Unforgettable: Thru-hiking the Pacific Coast Trail

Every year, hundreds of people dare to step outside their "normal" life; leaving behind their jobs, families, and creature comforts, in an attempt to hike the entire Pacific Crest Trail. Less than half finish this 2669 mile expedition, but for the ones that do, it changes them forever.  Join Dorothy Brown-Kwaiser for a candid glimpse into the world of thru-hiking--the glamour, the guts, and the tears.  From her first steps at the Mexican border with her never-been-backpacking cousin, to her final hobbles past the Canadian border with her dad, she'll share stories and photos that shaped the journey and, now, her life.  Whether you are planning your own long-distance trek, just getting into hiking, or simply enjoy the tales of travel, there is something for you in this one-hour presentation.
