A Walk For Sunshine
Sat. July 17, 2010

Saturday - July 17
Jeff Alt, a talented speaker and award-winning author of A Walk for Sunshine, enjoys sharing his 2,160-mile Appalachian Trail adventures with Shenandoah National Park visitors. How does sleeping with a skunk, being chased by a bull, charged by a bear, suffering painful blisters, swarms of insects, and hilarious food cravings transfer to life lessons in the real world? Why does Alt insist that walking the Appalachian Trail was one of the best things he ever did? Jeff Alt takes you from Georgia to Maine on the Appalachian Trail and shares some of his "Life Lessons from the Trail" during his entertaining presentation. Alt takes you along on his adventure and shares how he has applied his lessons to his career, his marriage, and raising his children.

Award-winning author and featured on ESPN Jeff Alt will share his Appalachian Trail experiences with park visitors. Jeff uses music, slides, narration, and lots of humor as he talks about his personal adventures along the 2,175-mile footpath. Held 3:30pm and 7:00pm in the Massanutten Room at Big Meadows Lodge. FREE.
