Have you explored the nature in the area?

I asked three students the following questions about outdoors activities in the area: have you explored the nature in the area surrounding frostburg, if so, where have you been?

Mackenzie Moylan, "Super senior" history major, from Damascus, MD.
"Dan's rock is a classic spot" he explained that as a freshman he would often drive to dans rock to enjoy the view. Fall was the best time, with all the colors changing.

James McCarthy, junior, business administration, Annapolis, MD.
"We used to take our puppy, Bemis, to Finzel swamp all the time." Finzel swamp is a popular hike through and over a swamp. When the trail ends one can take a right into the woods or head left where they will find a quaint pond. "The water was super clear and warm and Bemis loved to frolic in it," explained McCarthy.

Christopher Preston, Bel Air, MD, Parks and Recreation, junior.
Chris enjoys camping at green ridge state park. As a parks and rec major he enjoys all sorts of outdoor activities but camping stood out. When asked why camping stood out he explained, " it's one of those things you can do with everyone, there is no skill required and you can do it in big groups." Chris reflects on playing guitar around a camp fire cooking hot dog on sticks and then taking pitch black walks through the woods, "trying to scare the crap out of each other."
