In 1894, a young heartbroken 20-yr-old #RobertFrost traveled to NC, attempting to hike through the #GreatDismalSwamp & later visiting the #OuterBanks. This formative, difficult journey inspired his later poem #KittyHawk & was recalled by the poet in 1961 as a significant, rebellious “tramp.”

Happy National Take a Hike Day. I am fortunate to be able to have a career doing what I love. I have needed this nature therapy, and bringing people to the outdoors and talking about the history and nature is the greatest. #nature #greatdismalswamp #naturescalling #protectourplanet

I never bothered to post my pictures to Twitter, but with IG trying to become TikTok, I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile posting pictures here.
