Please join us for Season 3 of Durango Diaries, The Durango Herald’s twice-a-month storytelling series.

In this session, local outdoor junkies share stories about their journeys in their favorite sports.

Storytellers include:
Bee Mathis enjoys getting dirty all over the Four Corners. While sleeping in the dirt, chasing the desert shade in the summer and climbing frozen waterfalls in the winter are no longer the highest priorities on her list, they still rank pretty darn high. A 33-year-old, below-the-knee amputee, Bee is in her last semester of college and is relishing all her outdoor activities, including a recent trip to climb Mt. Cotopaxi.

Sean Englund’s favorite hobby is highlining, which is simply slacklining, but at greater heights; it allows one to be in an air space that no one else has ever been. He also has a passion for rock climbing, ice climbing and mountain biking. He follows the words Henry Ford, “Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right.”

Dave Farkas is a transplanted Canadian whose passion for the outdoors started at a very young age. Since the early 1990s he’s worked as an outdoor professional guide and athlete working with clients whitewater kayaking, climbing and skiing. His happiest days are spent getting lost somewhere in the wilderness.

This event is free to the public.
