| Two Sticks, One Path | Sat Oct 04 | Booksigning | Darrow Kirkpatrick | Two Sticks, One Path: A Journey Beyond Fear on the Colorado Trail Stunning photos and moving narration from the memoir about a six-year-long section hike of the highest long trail in the country... on crutches! Two Sticks, One Path is a heartfelt memoir that chronicles a journey of resilience and determination. The narrative unfolds against the majestic but stricken Rocky Mountains, tracing the author 's evolution from a young boy enamored with the wilderness to a man grappling with physical disability and crippling anxiety. The author 's boyhood dream is put to the ultimate test as he battles injuries, self-doubt, and the unforgiving elements of nature. Armed with crutches and commitment, he embarks on a journey that is as much about self-discovery as it is about survival. |
| GUATEMALA: Traditions, Textiles and Evolving Culture | Sat Oct 11 | Slide Show | Judith Haden | The long history of endemic poverty, a horrific civil war, and sudden computerization are all colliding to create much adaptation within the ancient, mystical Guatemalan indigenous culture.

| The Road: An American Love Story | Sat Oct 25 | Slide Show | Andrew Singer and Sarah May | Life has a lot of speed bumps, and many of us have hit a proverbial detour or two, leading us to the tarmac and the 'for spacious skies ' of the American West. From remote public lands to overcrowded national parks, from solo self-reflection to a culture consumed with selfies—the road still calls us, teaches us, and ultimately changes us. Join van-lifers and authors Andrew Singer and Sarah May for a journey across the American West, and a dynamic discussion of the road 's place in love, healing, and exploration. Married and full-time nomads, Andrew is the author of the travel memoir Now Is the Time: A Van Life Road Trip, and Sarah is the author of She Journeys: A Memoir of Heartbreak and Homecoming. Both books are available to purchase at Travel Bug, and available at the event. Tour Andrew & Sarah 's self-built campervan from 4:00-4:45pm. Presentation at 5:00pm, followed by Q&A. |

Cycling the Roof of the World
with Tim Goering and Dave Colbert
Saturday July 26th, 2025 5 pm
In 1986, Tim Goering and his buddy Dave Colbert rode 3000 km by mountain bike across Inner Mongolia, China, and Tibet to Nepal. Their trip was not approved by Chinese authorities at the time, adding an additional element of intrigue to their journey. Their journey included crossing the Tibetan Plateau and exploring a yak trail over a wind-scoured 19,000-foot pass in the shadow of Mount Everest. Tim and Dave will present a travelogue of their trip, conducted nearly 40 years ago, when China was just beginning to open to the west, and much of Tibet was closed to foreigners.
