Ras Vaughan, “UP North Loop: 2,600 Miles, the Inland Northwest“-

“UP North Loop:2,600 Miles, the Inland Northwest” – Ras Vaughan is the speaker for the March Adventure Series with potluck hosted by the Olympia Branch of the Mountaineers. Ras and Kathy Vaughan found the Pacific Crest Trail a little too crowded. So they came up with a new long distance hike that would take them on smaller trails in a giant loop through Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Idaho. The couple recently completed the loop and, for Kathy, it was the first time doing a long distance hike since she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Join Ras & Kathy for an evening of laughter, information and inspiration.

Vaughan’s presentation is part of a series of adventure speakers and potluck sponsored by The Olympia Branch of the Mountaineers. Members and nonmembers are invited. Doors open at 5:30 pm and potluck starts promptly at 6:00pm.  Bring a dish to share, plate and flatware.
