We boarded buses at 7 a.m. and at 10:15 we were near New Castle, Va at Wildnerness Adventures at Eagle Landing. The students were greeted by the instructors and split into eight groups of twelve or thirteen students each. The groups were created in advance and reflected a mix of new and returning students. Students were soon oriented to all the backpacking and camping gear they will use throughout the trip.
Following a hamburger and hot dog lunch the groups split off to do different activities.
We look forward to an exciting few days in the Jefferson and George Washington Forests. The leaves are just starting to turn, and the weather could not be better.
