Following a short business meeting, long time club member Leonard M. Adkins will talk about his travels along the Continental Divide trail, from Canada to Mexico.

Profiled by Backpacker magazine, and referred to as “The Habitual Hiker,” Leonard has hiked more than 20,000 miles exploring the backcountry areas of the U.S., Canada, Europe, and the Caribbean. Almost every hiking season finds him on some new and exciting adventure. He has hiked the full length of the Appalachian Trail five times, traversed the Continental Divide from Canada to Mexico, followed the Pacific Northwest Trail through Montana, Idaho, and Washington, and walked several hundred miles of Canada’s Great Divide Trail. His adventures in Europe include a trek of the Pyrenees High Route from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean along the border of France and Spain and an exploration of Iceland’s interior. His New Zealand adventures include a traverse of the Milford Track and some of the country's other Great Walks.

Leonard is the author of 21 books on the outdoors, nature, and travel. His words and photographs have appeared in Islands, Caribbean Travel and Life, Blue Ridge Outdoors, Backpacker, Colorado Daily, Mid-Atlantic Country, Charleston Gazette, and other newspapers, magazines, and websites. He is currently The Good Walk columnist for Blue Ridge Country magazine.
