Since our next conference is not yet scheduled, we thought in the meantime it would be fun to get together in a different way for an evening of outdoor storytelling periodically, by zoom.

Our first storyteller was our own OWAC Board member, Matt Johanson, who presented, “Tales and Trails of California’s Mountains,”

This first program includes tales of adventure, close calls, plenty of incredible photography, area lore and history, and some selections from Matt’s personal video collection. The evening concludes with a quiz game and book giveaway!

Matt Johanson has provided us with a glimpse into the evening’s program:

Prepare to be inspired. Discover little-known waterfalls and scenic outings in Yosemite National Park. Experience the exploits of mountaineering legends Royal Robbins, Lynn Hill and Tommy Caldwell. Learn secrets to success on the John Muir and Pacific Crest Trails. Dare to dream about climbing California’s spectacular mountains, including Half Dome, Mount Whitney, and Mount Shasta. Award-winning author Matt Johanson combines history, photography and decades of personal experiences in “Tales and Trails of California’s Mountains.”

Anyone with an outdoor topic or professional guidance to share, please speak up to get in the que and be scheduled for our future
OWAC OUTDOORS zoom sessions.

My many years running our own business gives me a unique perspective on managing projects and creating effective programs. Passionate about fishing, I have been a staff writer for Western Outdoor News (WON) for over 20-years. Getting out on numerous WON fishing charters off-shore along the southern California coast, exploring Alaska and Mexico, and finding hidden gems like Bishop and Auburn for wild trout, makes it worth the effort. Writing about the outdoors led me to a mutually beneficial relationship with the professional members of OWAC. As Executive Director, I work to support the members of the organization and achieve their mission to tell stories of the great outdoors, which has been truly rewarding for me both personally and professionally.
