October Hiking in North Carolina

The Citizen-Times of Asheville, NC mentions our A.T. in an article about their school calendar titled "Asheville school officials learn more about non-traditional calendar" that was written by Julie Ball on 20 January 2012.

She writes:

For some Macon County students, a weeklong break in October was a chance to get some extra help with their studies.

For others, it was a chance to take a trip with other students to the Appalachian Trail or a local museum, or it was simply a good time for a vacation.

Let's hope lots took the time to go hiking. And, if they did, that the school officials keep the calendar that affords this break.
