“The Habitual Hiker,” aka Leonard M. Adkins, will present a multimedia program that depicts a typical Appalachian Trail thru-hike. Adkins has hiked the entire length of the Appalachian Trail five times, a feat accomplished only by a handful of others. In addition to this award-winning book, Wildflowers of the Appalachian Trail, his most recent work, All About the Appalachian Trail, for children ages 8-12, has received the Independent Book Publishers Association Award for Young Readers in non-fiction. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
