Tierrasanta Talks: Alaskan Author Lynn Schooler
11260 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, San Diego, 92124
Cost: $10
In the spring of 2007, hard on the heels of the worst winter in the history of Juneau, Alaska, Lynn Schooler finds himself facing the far side of middle age and exhausted by laboring to handcraft a home as his marriage slips away. Seeking solace and escape in nature, he sets out on a solo journey into the Alaskan wilderness, traveling first by small boat across the formidable Gulf of Alaska, then on foot along one of the wildest coastlines in North America.
Walking Home is filled with observations of the natural world and rife with adventure as Schooler fords swollen rivers and eludes aggressive grizzlies. Join Lynn as he shares stories from his 40-plus years as a renowned Alaskan wilderness guide, photographer, and author.
