Maine native and insatiable (10,000 mile) hiker Jeff Ryan has just published his first book: Appalachian Odyssey: A 28-year hike on the Appalachian Trail. For nearly 3 decades, Jeff hiked a section of the trail with the same friend (they started hiking in 1985 and completed the AT in 2013).
This is not a "we ate oatmeal and walked 12 miles" narrative. It is a story rich with meaning that speaks to challenges, perseverance and friendship. It is one told through a mixture of stunning photography and humor as well. This is a fundraiser for Teens To Trails (www.teenstotrails.org), a local non-profit dedicated to increasing outdoor opportunities for teens.
Tickets cost $5 and can be purchased here: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2737528?date=1639172
