Afternoon Hiking Trip next Friday!

Hey CCVTers,
Just wanted to give you some advance notice so you can save the date on your calendar and make plans to join us and invite your friends: CCVT's Core Group Team has planned a beautiful hike for next Friday, Oct. 12, which is the one day we get off for Fall Break.

Since most of you will not be going home for Fall Break since you'd rather go home on a weekend when there is no home football game, we are taking advantage of the full day off which Fall Break affords us, unhindered by football games or church.

We will meet at the campus house at 12 noon to carpool to the parking lot from which we will hike. We will be hiking to McAfee's Knob. It is a beautiful hike that is going to be even better since the leaves will be changing color, as they already are beginning to. There are beautiful views along the way, and a breathtaking view at the top.

If you are not an avid hiker, don't be intimidated. This is not a difficult hike. It is appropriate for beginners, not too steep, and no special equipment required. Just some good walking shoes. It will take us about 4 hours to hike up and back.

After we have worked up a big appetite hiking we will have a great opportunity to get our money's worth eating all you can eat at The Homeplace restaurant which is only about a 5 minute drive from the parking lot of the trail. If you've never heard about The Homeplace, ask an upperclassman. It is one of the most popular restaurants in this part of Virginia! It is even on VT's official bucket list.

I will send out another email next week with all the details, but for now, make plans to join us next Friday, Oct. 12, and start inviting your friends to come with you.

Since most of you have chosen this weekend (Oct. 6-7) to make your visit home, we have no official CCVT events planned for this weekend other than carpooling to church Sunday morning at 10:15am, and the Women of the Word Bible study at 7pm Sunday, as usual.

Thanks, and have a great weekend back home if you are going home for the weekend.

Steve
