Speaking of Travel
Randy Fluharty, president of the Carolina Mountain Club in Western North Carolina, along with members Elaine Tennen and Carroll Koepplinger, love to hike. There is so much to know about the physical, mental health and spiritual aspects of taking a good hike, and they explain why a good hike is good for us, where to go, what to wear and how to get going.
