Sunrise Rays
What better way to start a meeting than with a visiting Rotarian Club President!
Club Administrator Brian Rondon introduces Bill. In additioin to his hiking skill, Bill will also ride in the District Polio ride with Sunriser Peter Hoberg from Crescent City to Petaluma: Get your pledges in!!
Bill Stauber is President of Sebastopol Sunrise Rotary and an avid hiker and biker as well.
Bill inspired, impressed and informed us of his trek with his son in 2014 along the Appalachian Trail. 2,189 miles and 6 months later, Bill and son joined an elite club of adventurers completing the arduous hills and valleys between Georgia and Maine.
Distinguishing between dream and reality, the AT is nothing like a gentle walk in the woods. Often covered by snow, difficult to navigate rock formations, a climate at times registering 9F, the Trail is more a trial of perseverance and preparation. Fortunately Bill is fit and had friends in Asheville, North Carolina who hosted Bill during a two week leg injury set back.
