The Joy Trip Reading Project discussion

On June 30, 2021 at 5PM Central Time, we’re excited to invite you to join the Joy Trip Reading Project for our sixth online book discussion with Derick Lugo, author of the Unlikely Thru-Hiker.
Prior to the experiences portrayed in his debut memoir, this young writer had never hiked, camped or pitched a tent a day in his life. However, this Brooklyn-born, New York City urbanite hopped a train to Georgia, grabbed a taxi to the beginning of the Appalachian Trail, and then he did as he has always done — put one foot in front of the other and never looked back.
After thru-hiking for 2,192 miles and several thousand more on various different trails, he now feels invincible and plans to cross the Sahara barefoot. (Not really, but when an ambitious spirit is successful, it will strive for even greater accomplishments.)
Storytelling is Derick’s forte; he’s the author of The Unlikely Thru-Hiker, a memoir of his 6-month hike of the entire Appalachian Trail, he’s written several articles for outdoor magazines, and short stories for various books. He’s a professional speaker and adventurer.

Log-on to Zoom to join what will likely be an inspiring conversation hosted by James Edward Mills, author and creator of The Joy Trip Project. Advanced registration is required. Just click the link =>https://uwmadison.zoom.us/meeting/reg...
