EXPLORE WITH ERIC!
Date: 3/31/09 - 3/31/09
Time: 7:00PM - 8:15PM
Location: Donges Bay Cafeteria
"Wow, what a great idea!"
That's what I said to John Krueger (Max's dad) when he told me about it.
His idea? Have a REAL explorer come and talk with the kids, show them photos, have them see and feel the gear. See, John knows Eric Larsen. Eric and John go way back - both have the same local roots.
Eric has skied to both the North and South Poles! Only two other people can make that claim. He made the first-ever summer visit to the North Pole, on skis, towing a canoe, across shifting sea ice and stretches of open water. He's been across America by bike. He was a backcountry ranger in Alaska. He is an Outside Magazine "Eco All Star"... and he is planning to visit both poles and Mt Everest in the next year... he'd be the first American to visit all three... and he's here to talk about it with us!
Check out his web site - Eric gives a wonderful presentation. We'll learn what it takes to be an explorer, how to dodge polar bears, and maybe something about the effects of global warming at our planet's extremes.
This will captivate our guys and their parents alike, I have no doubt. Please encourage them to bring friends and/or siblings, and to be on their BEST behavior.
Great idea, John.

Eric's own web page. Cool!
