Life Lessons on the Pacific Crest Trail

Sherborn Library hosts Wendy Johnston, who hiked the length of the Pacific Crest Trail

On Thursday, March 12th at 7 p.m. at the Sherborn Library, Wendy Johnston will share her incredible journey along the Pacific Coast Trail, thought to be the longest trail in the world. Like Cheryl Strayed from the movie and book “Wild,” Wendy backpacked the PCT’s entire 2,700 mile length, from the US/Mexican Border to the US/Canadian border through California, Oregon, and Washington. Join Wendy for a talk focusing on the reasons she hikes long trails, some of the adversity she has overcome (both in life and on the trail), and the universal lessons that she has learned on her long hikes, as well as a slideshow of photos taken along her PCT hike. A question and answer session will follow. For information about this or other Library events, visit the Library website at http://library.sherbornma.org or contact Donna Bryant, Public Services Librarian at referencelibrarian@comcast.net or 508.653.0770
