Our monthly Austin Sierra Club meeting will be online via Zoom.

We’ll start off with Announcements on current events, watch a short film by Bruce Melton on Padre Island seashore erosion, learn about projects for school kids and young adults, and then sit back for the feature presentation – Backpacking the Pacific Crest Trail, with Bill Johns.

Over the past 3 summers, Bill has hiked 1600 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail – from Tehachapi Pass (near Mojave, California) to the Bridge of the Gods (near the border of Oregon and Washington). We are looking forward to his stories of nature, challenges, and people. During the school year Bill teaches special education at Crockett High School in Austin.

If you have not used Zoom before to join online meetings, it’s recommended to get a free account at http://zoom.us/ . It’s a good idea to test your phone or PC prior to the event. Turning on your microphone and camera (to be heard and seen during the meeting) is entirely optional. The URL to click on and join the meeting will be displayed after you RSVP.
