| This past Saturday was... |
 |
| Our... |
 |
| Fall Family Hike Day! |
 |
| And all... |
 |
| The elements... |
 |
| Came together. |
 |
| Some of the Summer Staff of 2017... |
 |
| Showed up! |
 |
| Some Junior Counselors and CIT Grads Showed up! |
 |
| And of course... |
 |
| Plenty... |
 |
| Of Camp Families... |
 |
| Showed up. |
 |
| (Even some Camp families... |
 |
| With campers... |
 |
| Not quite... |
 |
| Camp age yet.) |
 |
| You know the Camp Dog showed up! |
 |
| It's his favorite event of the whole year. |
 |
| And perhaps, most importantly... |
 |
| An absolute beautiful autumn day... |
 |
| Showed up too. |
 |
| So we announced our different levels of hikes - |
 |
| With the disclaimer that the Advanced and Ultra-Advanced Hikes along the Appalachian Trial were too difficult! Don't go on those. |
 |
| And actually, the Intermediate Hike is pretty challenging too... |
 |
| Don't go on that one either. |
 |
| EVERYONE should just go on the Beginner's Camp Hike! That's the hike you should all choose! |
 |
| (T-Nivi's hike was just to stay on Camp.) |
 |
| But predictably... |
 |
| No one listened! |
 |
| And a bunch of brave folks... |
 |
| Decided to take on the Appalachian Trail, and journey to Buttermilk Falls... |
 |
| On our Advanced and ULTRA-Advanced Hikes. |
 |
| EVEN MORE folks didn't listen... |
 |
| And decided to join our... |
 |
| Intermediate Hike... |
 |
| For a nice long tour... |
 |
| Of Stokes Forest. |
 |
| And finally the small group who listened, and opted for a lovely stroll through the paths of Camp on our Beginner's Hike. |
 |
| (You didn't have to be an infant to take this hike, but it helps. Then you barely walk at all.) |
 |
| And off through... |
 |
| The woods of Camp... |
 |
| They went! |
 |
| See! |
 |
| Why go... |
 |
| On any hike... |
 |
| Besides the Beginner's Camp Hike! |
 |
| You don't have to even leave site... |
 |
| To journey through some forest that's just as pretty... |
 |
| As forest can get. |
 |
| Plus! |
 |
| You get BACK way quicker! |
 |
| To rest up... |
 |
| From all that hiking... |
 |
| And to jump right into... |
 |
| Some Camp activities! |
 |
| That's right! |
 |
| There's not just hiking... |
 |
| On Hike Day! |
 |
| Since we've all... |
 |
| Shown up... |
 |
| For a Fall afternoon... |
 |
| We might as well... |
 |
| Cram in as many... |
 |
| Good... |
 |
| Classic Camp... |
 |
| Pastimes... |
 |
| As possible. |
 |
| But wait! |
 |
| What became of all the other hikes that departed off Camp? Well, for that (and the rest of the scens from Fall Family Hike Weekend...) |
 |
| You'll have to check out our next blogpost. |
