Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro

Online via Zoom

Jill and Kurt Jewell are new Rovers members who enjoy long distance running, biking, and camping.  They got to experience the “once in a lifetime” trip of a hike up Mount Kilimanjaro in February 2023.  In their presentation, they’ll share what led them to the highest mountain in Africa, their preparation, and adventures on (and off) the mountain.  Perhaps after their talk you will set your sites on this bucket-list experience!

The Wonders of Dark Skies at Voyageurs National Park

Online via Zoom

Join Voyageurs Conservancy’s Education Specialist and Dark Sky enthusiast, Jesse Gates, to learn about Voyageurs’ place as an International Dark Sky park.  Learn about the adverse effects of light pollution, what makes Voyageurs dark skies so special, and what fascinating astronomical events to look out for next year!

Jesse has worked as a seasonal education technician and interpretive park range for the National Park Service for the past four years.  His favorite type of educational program involves teaching about and observing the starry night sky. At his most recent assignment at Voyageurs National Park, he discovered the Voyageurs Conservancy.  As an advocate for science and stewardship of the land, he quickly realized that this organization’s mission closely aligned with his own values.

Cycling SE Asia: Same, same … only different

Online via Zoom

In February of 2023, Doug and his son-in-law spent a week bicycling the backroads of Cambodia and Vietnam.  This talk along with a photo-filled slideshow tells of that experience and gives tips for preparing for one’s own biking experience in this colorful, interesting park of the world.

Doug is a retired educator and life-long bicyclist, hiker, and world-traveler, having visited over 60 countries.  He has climbed Kilimanjaro, hiked the Inca Trail, backpacked Rim to Rim in the Grand Canyon, and participated in five boat/bike cruises in Europe.  But most of all, he enjoys Rover hikes!
