Wilderness Survival
By: Marlene Affeld Be Prepared Before you head out to the promising gravel bar you heard about up no-name creek or on an exploration of an old mine site in the backcountry, let someone know where you are going and when you will return. While it is important to leave word of your destination and expected return when you are going on a several day hike in the high country, it is just as important to let know someone know where you are going even if you just plant a day hike or a short drive off-road. Ask a friend or relative to notify authorities of your likely whereabouts if you do not return within a certified time frame. It may sound like old advice, but it is worth repeating. No one will come looking for you if they don’t know you are missing.

Hike More, Worry Less
Virginia is not only for Lovers, it's for hikers too... It was a real bummer living in Virginia for 11 months and only realizing on the 10th month that Virginia has some of the greatest hiking trails in the world. I've never really been a hiker. I remember going on my last hike in the fifth grade, and I remember how much it sucked. I kept complaining how tired I was, and I kept asking how far we still needed to go. I think back on that day while hiking now, and then I think about why I enjoy hiking so much now... It's the beauty. The beauty of the air that smells like nature, how the breeze feels different while walking between the trees, how the sky looks so much more blue, and how the sounds make my soul feel at home...
