Corner of Echols
also corner of echols (or wherever your heart desires)
Humpback Rock, Virginia, USA
HELLO WAHOO NATION!
If you, like me, are desperately craving some time in this lovely, crisp autumn air, join me this Thursday morning for a sunrise hike! What better way to celebrate Halloween, reconnect with nature before this weekend’s tomfoolery, and appreciate the gorgeous peak foliage? We’re gonna go bright and early because I have a 9:30am exam (atrocious) so if you’re on the fence about the hike because of classes, don’t worry.
Does the 5am start sound scarier to you than Halloween itself? Maaaaybe BUT CONSIDER: since it’s Halloween, you could literally drag your sheet off of your bed and wear it on the hike because you could plausibly say that you’re just dressed up as a ghost for the day. How often can you say that? No excuses. We might even play Halloween Howls on the ride over if people are feeling it (the album that Spooky Scary Skeletons came from; I adamantly believe that the whole album is fantastic fun and listen to it every year).

Drivers will be prioritized! I do not have a car 🙁 If multiple drivers sign up, then I’ll increase the number of people who can go on the trip.
OKAY that’s all! See you there 🙂
