On Thursday, June 20, 10:00am the Silver City Public Library will host a talk with author Dale Walker. Dale will read from his books, particularly A Thousand Miles Against the Wind: Hearts and Hurricanes, recounting his adventures traveling across the continent by bicycle. In 2016 Walker sold all his things keeping only what would fit on a bicycle and set out on a journey around the world. He would eventually ride more than 40,000 miles through 48 US states and seven other countries. Traveling as Peaceful Valley Walker, he sought truth, allowed for love, and honored brotherhood. Walker found peace on lonely backroads, true friendship with strangers, and ever more reasons for service. His story is described as "A penniless romp through a land of grand generosities."
"In addition to telling what happened, I wanted to honor the people I met along the way," explained Walker. "If they made their way into my notes, they are important to the story. I would not be who I am without them."
