This collaboration with Elk Grove’s Bookstore will be a two-part event:

9:00am — Hike with the Author at Gristmill Recreation Area

Join the Ashley Shult Langdon in one of the American River’s least-visited access points for a chance to wanter the trails of Chapter 6 in Mildly Scenic. The hike will be 3 or 4 miles along flat but uneven dirt trails with opportunities to access the river’s edge, view wildlife and enjoy some of the shady trails along the 23-mile corridor that is the American River Parkway.

Meet at the parking lot: 9517 Mira Del Rio Dr. Sacramento, CA 95827. $7 Parking.

11:00 am — Book Talk at A Seat At the Table:

Whether you hiked with us or not, all are welcome to join Ashley afterward as she tells the unexpected story of becoming an author in the midst of parenting during the pandemic. A Seat At the Table is one of Elk Grove’s gems, this bookstore is a community space open to all. Food and refreshments are available for purchase, as is a copy of the book Mildly Scenic.
