Carl Olsen, Section Hiker, Speaks in NH

Several notices in the Nashua (NH) Telegraph over the last week (10, 15 and 17 January) have called attention to a presentation by section hiker Carl Olsen at the Amherst, NH public library on Tuesday 23 January 2007 at 7:00 pm The supplied title is "Hiking the Appalachian Trail: Carl Olsen offers inspiration and tips for the trek."

The piece in the 15 January issue says that Olsen learned about the AT when his son Aaron attempted a thru-hike in 2002. Doesn't say whether Aaron finished the hike or not. Does say that Carl "
makes his own equipment, to lighten the load, and prepares his own food." This summer's section is slated for 5 weeks. Go Carl!

Sounds like it'll be a worthwhile program.
