Nature Center
to hear our guest speaker Jill Overdorf offer a glimpse into the backcountry of Peru.  Jill will share a 40
mile walking tour of one of the old Incan trails, the 'High Road to Machu Picchu.'  From acclimation in Cusco and
Mollepata, into the valley of Soraypampa and over the Salcantay pass of 15,200 feet, this walk is assisted by horses,
mules and traveling chefs. The trek concludes with a two day descent into the cloud forest and lush jungle below.  The
final destination is Machu Picchu, but after seven days of walking, this ancient city is only one of many bright spots
along the way.  Light refreshments will be served.  Everyone welcome!  Come and enjoy the program, socialize with
friends, and fill out a ticket for the door prize drawing.  Prizes are donated by Wild Birds Unlimited.
