June book club

The Girls on the Trail


The Book Choice for June was " Into the Wild" which is based on a true story by Jon Krakauer. After graduating from Emory University in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandons his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Throughout his journey, McCandless encounters a series of characters that shape his life.

With this read we decided to do book club "out in the wild"! We met for a hike at Lair o' the Bear Park on Sunday June 29th. After our hike we relaxed and enjoyed a classic pinic that Laura had prepared for us. We made our own lil' sandwiches, along with some pasta salad, refreshing fruits, some fresh brownies , and we changed it up this time and enjoyed chilled Mojitos.

The sun was out and it was a perfect day for our hike and picnic!!!
