SEQUIM — Pack your virtual bags.
Traveler’s Journal begins its 27th season of travel and adventure slide shows Thursday at the Sequim High School library at 601 N. Sequim Ave.
The eight-week travel series is a presentation of the Peninsula Trails Coalition with local adventurers sharing their stories and photos with you.
All of the money raised is used to buy project supplies and food for the volunteers working on the Olympic Discovery Trail.
The first presentation will be by Elston Hill, who will discuss “Traveling in North Korea as a party of two.”
Shows start at 7 p.m. Seating in on chairs; some people bring their own cushions.
Admission is $5 suggested donation for adults, with youths 18 and younger admitted free.
One selected photo enlargement will be given away each week as a door prize.
“I hope you enjoy this year’s presenters and I give big thank you to all of the presenters,” said Arvo Johnson, organizer.
“It is lot of work and I know the community appreciates and enjoys hearing the adventures.
“Also, you are a part of doing something special for PTC, allowing thousands to enjoy the nature we have here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.”
Each year the dream of a continuous trail from Port Townsend to Forks gets a little closer.
In 2017, about 200 volunteers put in more than 9,000 hours of labor on the trail.
