Potomac Appalachian Trail Club

And in the episode notes, I will provide folks with a link to the Green Tunnel podcast.

you are the historian of one of the AT's leading maintaining clubs, the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club.

Of course, it's one of two maintaining clubs that was founded by Myron Avery.

Please talk a bit about the history of the PATC and what you've learned about that club.

She was chair of the board of Appalachian Trail Conservancy.

And even before that, she was involved in, she has been involved with the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, PATC, and particularly volunteering at the Blackburn Trail Center.

And she says that she's had a literal and figurative romance with the Appalachian Trail since 1983.

We're going to talk about that at the banquet.

And Chris, of course, is another legend of the trail, and he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2020.

So she really has a lifelong association with the trail and has been critically involved in it.

in the work of Appalachian Trail Conservancy, as well as the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club.

So as I said, I'm thrilled at this class.
