Wed Jan 17 2024 Slide-show presentation by Phyllis Rubenstein

On a cold winter evening, over 60 people came to the T. W. Wood Gallery to hear Phyllis Rubenstein’s inspiring tale of her 2023 “flip-flop” thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. Phyllis, whose trail name is GMG (green mountain girl), took us along with her from Georgia to central Pennsylvania, where she “flipped” north to Maine and then headed south, back to central Pennsylvania. The presentation was accompanied with hundreds of photographs of scenes from the trail including flowers, fauna, viewpoints, stream crossings, muddy trails, rocky trails, hikers, and signs of early habitation. Phyllis, who has extensive experience backpacking, is available to consult with you about how to plan for a long-distance backpacking trip.

Reports of this hike as well as this presentation appear in several issues of Trail Talk. Take a look at them:
