What kind of gear did they carry? Why did they go hiking in the first place? What was their relationship to the natural world they found along the trail? What was it like to hike as a woman\, as a person of color\, as someone with a disability? And how did all those things change over the 100 years of the trail’s history? \nPlus! Announcement of the annual Friend of the Mountain award\, delicious wines\, sumptuous food by Savoir Fare Catering\, time to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.

SUMMARY:May 4 Board of Supervisors Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Please join Friends of the Blue Ridge Mountains and many other community organizations for public comments at the May 4 meeting of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. During their 4pm meeting\, the BOS will debate the instructions to the staff regarding changes in the zoning ordinance affecting the Mountain Overlay District. \nThere are proposals to weaken the protections for the mountains\, including reducing the setback for mountain streams from 300 to 100 feet\, increasing the amount of land that can be bulldozed without a permit\, and allowing an unlimited number of private parties and events at mountain vineyards. We will have tee shirts for everyone to wear with the message Protect Our Mountains. \nThe meeting begins at 4pm but the public comment period does not begin until 6pm.  To register to speak\, you must call the County Administrator’s office on Friday May 1 beginning at 8:30am. Call 703-777-0200 then transfer to the receptionist by pressing “0.” \nBOS Meeting
