Honors TRiP III is ready for the AT
Last month I climbed into a 15 passenger van from the Reitz Union and headed to the Appalachian Trail for a weekend of hiking and camping. This was the third Honors adventure with
TRiP and the second time we visited of the most beautiful places on the AT: Max Patch. The adventure began at Lemon Gap and led us to Walnut Mountain for the first night. The weather was perfect; lows in the 30′s and highs in the 60′s. This was my second Honors on the AT experience and it did not disappoint. We were fortunate to have four intrepid TRiP leaders with us who not only guided us safely through the wilderness, but also fired up some respectable grub as well. Edward Abbey once said, “Hunger is the best sauce.” This food would have been good, hungry or not. We dined on veggie pasta, apple and peach turnovers and rice and bean burritos. I chuckled when one of the participants commented that she didn’t eat this well when she was at home.
