Get “Wild” with Gwendolyn Earth Day 2015
On April 21, 1985, at 23 years old, Ken Alley and I set off to backpack from Mexico to Canada. In 1987, we completed the trail and I became one of the first 20 women to hike the 2700 mile long Pacific Crest Trail. On my 30th anniversary, I am on the trail again; from March 28-31 I did the first 53 miles from the border to Pioneer Mail Picnic area.
Join me on Earth Day to hear stories from my adventure and watch the R rated film Wild based on Cheryl Strayed’s 1995 1100 mile journey on the trail. The event is free and open to the public. Find us in the Ventura College library classroom from 3:30-6pm Weds. April 22, 2015.
Ventura College is located at 4667 Telegraph Road, Ventura CA 93003. From the 101, take the Victoria exit and head for the hills; turn left on Telegraph. The library is the tall imposing building in the middle of campus and the library is on the second floor with the classroom in the back. Parking is $2.
