30 Hikes

Starting on June 1st our local library teamed up with a Get Outdoors program where they set up 30 different hikes in several parks all over the county.  You follow directions until you reach the post where the rubbing plate is.  It ended the day before school started.  We have been doing this for several years but this was the first year we got them all done and we finished on the very last day.

I take a picture at every rubbing post but here are just some.  

My son wanted to get them all done this year and I was determined to make it happen so he wouldn't be disappointed.  I'm super surprised my daughter got through them all, even though she complained a lot.  

It was a great way to get moving over the summer.  Some of the hikes were easy while others brought on quite a challenge but we got to see some cool things along the way like a bat cave, waterfalls, and standing in both Pennsylvania and Maryland at the same time.  We also got to visit a lot of parks we didn't know existed.  Despite the rise in gas prices we did it.  

I'm hopeful we'll be doing it again next year.
