Hikers Make 1 he
Grade Up Hawksbill
With creaking joints and sagging muscles fifteen members, young and old, jof the newly organized hiking club, began the steep ascent of the rocky trail to the summit of Hawksbill on Skyline Drive. j At about the quarter mark, between moans, groans, squeals and gasps of breath, the general concensus was, “Gee, if I make it to the top 1 can lfoll down the other side.” Canteens were most welcome and sweaters were soon shed as the hickers proceeded up the incline, but they were a decided asset when they hit the top of the mountain whejre a crisp breeze whipped over the peak.
From this height, gazing over the serence countryside, at the mountain ranges with dwarfed villages nestled at their feet, made all realize how insignificant, how 'small a part of the universe an individual really is. The trail down was more gradual and at a {leisurely pace, one had the opportunity to inspect the rocks, plants, pick puffballs and view the trees which wore just beginning to don their fall frocks.
At the bottom once again, no one seemed too imuch the worse for wear and all agreed it was a wonderful wav to spend a Sunday afternoon. Apparently everyone was able to get outj of bed without assistance on Monday morning.
Those who h i k e d Hawksbill were Nancy Wood, Alice Wood, Paula Miller, Carl Howell, Louie Miller, Nancy Latham, Judy Faye Lillard, Sally Latham, Jean Lillard, Judy Lillard, S a n dr a Staap, Mrs. Katherine Riley, Mrs. Barbara Genti|, Mrs. Sarah Latham, and Raymond Johnson.
