Faded photograph of a young girl with a big rucksack on a front porch

1977-78 my first hiking trip in Grade 9 with Macdonald High School, Montreal. The rucksack was heavier than me, but I made it to the top of Mount Mansfield! We moved to Scotland soon after and I have enjoyed walking the hills, glens and coastal paths ever since. Thank you Vermont State Parks for being my first adventure 💚
