Mar a Mar: Karen Power’s Trek on the Camino de Costa Rica
Presenter: Karen Power

Presented By: Springboro Next Destination Speaker Series - Free & Open To The Public

Description:
Come along with Karen Power on a walk across rural Costa Rica. The Camino de Costa Rica stretches 174 miles from the shores of the Caribbean to the beaches of the Pacific Ocean. Spectacular mountain views, untouched tropical rain forests, and diverse wildlife make Costa Rica a must-see, eco-friendly destination. The Camino itself is a rugged network of steep gravel and dirt country roads stitched together to create a pathway up mountains, through valleys and towns, and across lush plantations of plantain, pineapple, raspberries, palm trees, and coffee.
Relive Karen’s journey with her and meet the kind-hearted Ticos (as the Costa Ricans call themselves) who provided lodging, food and help on this hot, wet, and muddy journey. Discover the soul of Pura Vida as you learn about Costa Rican culture, daily life, and the valiant efforts to protect the endangered sea turtles. Let Karen’s story ignite your own spirit of adventure and inspire you to experience the raw beauty of Costa Rica firsthand.

Bio: Karen Power is a retired college professor, a grandmother of 4, a volunteer trail maintainer, and an educator at local parks. Her long-distance hikes include the 1100-mile Florida Trail, the 1400-mile Buckeye Trail, the 480-mile French Way on the Camino de Santiago, Kilimanjaro, and others. Karen’s 3,000+ miles of long hiking have inspired a non-lucrative hobby as a free lance writer, cartoonist, and writing coach.

More Info:

Let's get together and explore the unique areas and neighborhoods that Dayton and vicinity have to see!

For this Urban Hike let's go back to the INCREDIBLE AND HISTORIC National Museum of the US Air Force.

This event is public and I will be leading not only the Dayton Hikers but anyone else that signs up.

You must register using the link below or straight to their website. Follow the link for the "Fitness Under the Wings" event.

The link can be a little confusing as it will look like you are signing up for the Yoga flow.. but when you fill out the registration you will scroll down and there will be a choice to choose Yoga or Walking. For this you will obviously choose walking.

After you register you will receive a QR code. You will need to bring this with you to the event and check-in after you come through the main entrance.

I'll be waiting at the entrance.

I'm setting the arrival for 7:30 so you will have time to check-in with your QR code.

Walking will start at exactly 8:00am and end at 9:00am. These times are set by the museum.

We will walk continuously for 1 hour without stopping .. again this is per the museum.

After the walk ends at 9:00am, if we decide to, we can go back out into the museum to tour the Presidential planes and come back to the Hall of Fame area and watch a short film about an amazing member of the Hall of Fame. He's a pilot with a great story!
