Wisconsin Group / Model LNT’ers

I met this group .5 miles north of Doe Knob, well organized, well led and had a plan. These high schoolers were from Madison East High School in Madison, Wisconsin, a group that has brought students to the Smokies for an outdoor Experience for the past 40 years.  Anyone can see the enthusiasm and the "I am glad to be here” look.  Their leader Ms. Erin Parker provided much of that enthusiasm but quickly let me know she has not been the leader for all those years.

A great experience and a fun trip is often the result of a well thought-out plan.  They were perfect LEAVE-NO-TRACE representatives.
Keep hiking,
Carl

Thanks so much for this kind post! We spend a lot of time pre-trip working with our students on LNT and I'm so glad that it showed through. It's an amazing experience to be able to bring our students to the Smokies each year, and we had a great time. It was great running into you on the trail, and we wish you a wonderful ridgerunning season!
