Avi and I made ourselves a fun goal for the year: 52 hikes in 52 weeks. I’ll be trying to add more to this page as time goes on. A hike, by our definition is on a trail or fire road, is more than one mile, and something out in nature. Although I do enjoy city walks too, for the sake of our goal we aren’t calling those “hikes”.
I will also be blog posting many of the hikes and excursions on my main page. Say hi when you visit there

This is pathetic, almost 7 months since we’ve taken an official hike. Sure, we’ve done a handful of city walks, long ones even, but I haven’t put those here. Perhaps I should be adding those if I want to meet this goal

Keep an eye out for more to come.
I stumbled upon this site while trying to figure out creative ways to teach etymology to my students. What a fabulous blog you have here… so glad to have found it. I’m a first year English teacher down in New Orleans… please feel free to drop me a line anytime!
Kudos to another teacher fighting the fight!
