[Cdt-l] Bay Area REI Presentations

[Garret Christensen]

Posted this to pct-l as well. I am doing 5 Bay Area REI Presentations in July. 
If you want to come heckle me and/or hear about some cross-country stuff I did 
last year (and how that sort of seemed like a natural progression to me after 
having done the CDT and making up large chunks of the route), it would be cool 
to see you there.

Here's the blurb the REI organizer wrote and the dates.
The Sierra High Route & Beyond: A  Thru-hiker’s Dream:
Since 2002, Garret Christensen has hiked  the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific 
Crest Trail, the Continental Divide  Trail (a yo-yo thru-hike), and more. 
Tonight, Garret will share slides  and stories of his most recent adventure–a 
450-mile summer traverse of  the Sierra, from Olancha north to Tahoe City . Join 
Garret as he travels  the spectacular Sierra High Route, a 195-mile route 
(half-cross  country, half-trail) above 9,000 feet, which showcases the best of 
the  Sierra. Then, follow him the rest of the way on the Tahoe-Yosemite and  
Tahoe Rim Trails. Come learn pointers on ultralight packing, route  planning, 
route finding, and safe backcountry travel. Find out how this  thru-hiker 
extraordinaire covers 20-30 miles each day, carrying a base  pack weight of 
eight pounds.

best, 
The Onion
