Landers offers tip of the hat to Day Hikers

S-R Outdoors editor Rich Landers presented a program on Day Hiking Eastern Washington to about 200 people who packed into Mountain Gear's retail store on May 2, 2013. (Rich Landers)

TRAILS -- A humble thanks to the 200 people who packed into Mountain Gear tonight for my program about the great sport of  Day Hiking.

I said to heck with the Camelbak and had a beer afterward!

I detailed many of the virtues of taking a hike in this Sunday Outdoors story .

The program was based on my two years of research for a new guidebook, Day Hiking Eastern Washington , which I've co-authored with Craig Romano .

I'll look forward to emails with questions and feedback about the presentation as well as questions you may have as after sampling the routes detailed in the book.

Even more, I'll look forward to seeing you on the trail.

Rich
