BANGOR – A journey across one of the most arduous hiking trails in North America is the topic at the Maine Outdoor Adventure Club’s eastern Maine chapter meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 25, at Epic Sports, 6 Central St.

Carey Kish, a founding member of MOAC and an award-winning member of the New England Outdoor Writers Association, will speak on “Hiking the West Coast Trail” on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, a journey he took with two other MOACers. He will show pictures of his trip.

Kish says the 77-kilometer trail, from Port Renfrew to Bamfield has historic significance for American Indians, shipwreck survivors and prospectors, to name a few. “Today visitors come to experience the beauty of the coastal environment and the challenge of hiking one of the most arduous hiking trails in North America.”

New members and visitors are welcome to attend meetings. For information about MOAC, visit www.moac.org, e-mail info@moac.org or contact Peggy Markson, volunteer, at 947-9906 or oronopeg@earthlink.net.
