Local family to present "Crossing the Andes" slide show on biking in Ecuador

HOUGHTON – A Stanton Township family will present their "Crossing the Andes" slide show and talk at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 28, at the Portage Lake District Library in Houghton.

Wendy Sharp will discuss her family’s recent 18-day bike tour trip through Ecuador. The family of five traveled on one single bicycle and two tandems over rugged mountain terrain as high as 14,000 feet above sea level. They also climbed to the summit of a volcano, rafted a wild jungle river and visited rural indigenous markets. The entire Sharp family will be on hand to describe their adventures and impressions of Ecuadoran culture.

The public is invited to the free presentation.
