The new academic year has begun but the seniors did have a pause of two days as they hiked 17 miles of the Appalachian Trail near the Lehigh Valley. The 60 students were chaperoned by 12 teachers. We hiked over rocks, climbed over rocks, went down rocks, and slept on rocks. Nonetheless, the hike was beautiful and I loved being outside under the trees during the day and under the stars at night.
This picture was taken as we all gathered early Monday morning to begin the hike to buses. The mist was thick but shot through with sunlight.
