On Monday, Dave and Lindley’s
Environmental Studies class took a hike up Wheeler Mountain to take in the
scenery and discuss some themes we have been thinking about in class. Although
it was a little cold, the views from the top of the mountain were well worth
it. We had to scale up slippery rock walls and trudge through muddy paths to
reach our destination. Some of us looked like Spiderman as we struggled to
climb the rock faces! Freddy was especially happy that he chose not to wear his
white Converse sneakers. Once we reached the summit, we sat down to discuss the
differences and similarities between “wilderness” and “wildness”. After a few group shots, we headed back down
just in time for afternoon workout. Thanks Dave and Lindley for taking us on
such a great hike!
