It's disgusting/fascinating to know that these people still exist. I knew some of the info, but if you're interested in learning more about this relic of a school that only last year apologized for it's horrible history of racism, read the link above.

My daughter, Julie, her friend, Heather, and I went hiking at Table Rock State Park July 31. We hiked all the trails. It took 6 hours to do to the Pinnacle Mountain Trail, Mill Creek Falls Spur, Mill Creek Pass Trail, Ridge Trail, and the Table Rock Trail, plus 3 falls, 1 cut chin, and 1 bee sting, but we made it.
