SO-BO Hikers to Speak in Ohio

John Johnston's article in the Cincinnati (OH) Enquirer on 16 April 2007 titled "An Appalachian adventure; McNicholas grads learn about nature and about themselves" previews a talk by the two hikers at 7 p.m. on April 26 at Nature Outfitters, 118 Main St., Milford, OH.

The two hikers, Joe "Tundra Wookie" White and Bryan "Ice Man" Wolf, were southbound thru-hikers last year, starting from Katahdin on 7 September. The newspaper story sort of focuses more on their adventures on the northern half of the Appalachian Trail. They hiked for themselves, of course, but also "to raise money for Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Ohio, which helps children with life-threatening medical conditions. The pair say they've raised $10,000."
