Andrew Skurka, a recent graduate of Duke University who in 2004-05 hiked 7000 miles from Sea-to-Sea across North America has been touring the states giving presentations on his hike.

Stops include:
MA: Boston, Andover, Hyannis, Burlington,
NH: Nashua, Manchester, N Conway, West Lebanon
VT: Burlington
NY: Albany, Manhattan,

Yep, there was a thread a while ago about this:

I got to see him last week at my EMS. I think the tour and lack of people at some stores is getting to him.

Andrew Skurka at EMS Manchester

My son and I were at EMS in Manchester and Andrew Skurka was setting up for his talk. We stayed and listened to the details of his sea to sea hike and principles of light weight backpacking. We had a very good night, and walked away with a couple of door prizes to boot
Some of the details were amazing! I carry more weight on a day hike than he does going coast to coast.

Hey... excellent!! I read that he had door-prizes that he would be handing out. Assume that he is a rather "together" guy from reading his travels and his accomplishments. Thanks for sharing the news.

I got a box of Balance bars, they were yummy
He was giving out some good stuff with the raffle, I was glad all of the scouts that attended ours got something.

So I should assume? Remember what happens when you ASSuME...

My son Josh won a box of bars. Yummy indead
I won a subscription to backpacking light. Now I can learn how to go light. (No Tent Peg Hammers)
Someone in the group won a Golite Jam Pack!

I thought it was a good presentation with a lot of useful ideas.

Ahhh... but we are only assuming good things, so let's hope only good things prevail in our assumptions!

Gotta figure some GoLite stuff has to go round. Sweet!
