The Friends of the Wapack has been asked to participate in a different kind of activity. At the Park Theater in Jaffrey, NH the film Granite Rapids Moon will be shown at 7:00 PM, on Tuesday July 15, 2025.  The producer has agreed to donate a portion of the ticket sales to the Friends of the Wapack, based on those attendees who heard about it from the FOW. This will be determined by a show of hands at the start of the Q&A with the film producer after the showing.

The movie involves hiking and camping, but in a location very different from the Wapack. It was filmed in the Grand Canyon, with over 82 miles of leave-no-trace hiking, supervised by the National Park Service. It is a family-friendly movie featuring beautiful cinematography, with no sex, nudity, violence, guns, drugs, or particularly harsh language. It is directed by Kenneth Cran, with production and acting by John Charles Meyer & Susan Papa, and a professional cast. For more information about the film, to view the official movie trailer, and to purchase tickets, visit the Park Theater website. 

A press kit with lots more detail is available. For this and to send thoughts and comment about the film, or the Wapack, contact me: president@wapack.org
