Andy Dappen: Journey to Alaska

Award-winning journalist Andy Dappen shares the story of two Alaskan canoe trips undertaken by Dappen and his equally adventurous brother, Alan. The first, undertaken in 1974 with a group of college buddies, was a 6-week trip spanning 800 miles of coastal waterways in wood-strip canoes constructed by the Dappen brothers. They were cut short before making it to their final destination. Forty years later, Alan and Andy decide to finish the journey, paddling 300 miles of saltwater over 24 days. Program is free and open to the public. A $5 donation is suggested. Light refreshments will be provided along with a no-host wine bar.
