Pictured above:Thom Tomaszewski, Ben Parker, Blake Parker, and Amanda Preston all traveled to Virginia over spring break and hiked 20 miles of the Appalachian Trail. This picture was taken at McAfee’s Knob.
Over spring break I did what I love to do most, go on off trail hikes with my dog Delilah. We explored the forests I grew up in. We got to witness life begin to emerge in the forest as spring rolls in, saw snakes, red efts, and listened to the birds sing. She splashed through swamps and ponds. The best trip that I took this spring break, was into my backyard. – Katherine Gale
