If you are a Panthertown regular or someone who is new to this beautiful place, you will want to join us for an informal get-together where we share stories about our common interest.

Bring Your Trail Tales — Listen to Ours

Friends of Panthertown Executive Director, Jason Kimenker, and Trail Stewardship Coordinator, Krista Robb, will be there to share tales along with some special guests*:

• Burt Kornegay, retired outfitter and guide, and creator of the well-known map, “A Guide’s Guide to Panthertown”, is an expert with memorable Panthertown Valley stories.

• Mike Purdy has walked many miles in the Valley, as it is his “backyard;” also, he is the retired Trail Crew Leader for the Friends of Panthertown workdays.

•  Bill Jacobs, author of “Whence Theses Special Places? — The Geology of Cashiers, Highlands & Panthertown Valley”, is planning to attend and may share some tales of how his geologic concepts have been shaped by Panthertown’s unique features. 

Other Board members for Friends of Panthertown will also be in attendance.
