Hiking to Help Women Build · May 13 by Kurt Peterson

The break in the weather between major thunderstorms here in the Charlottesville area proved timely this past Saturday. With a few volunteers from the local Blue Ridge staff and many volunteers from Women Build of Habitat for Humanity, we were able to assist the Charlottesville area Women Build with a sponsored hike and fundraiser.

My group was blessed with a break in the clouds and some good sunshine for most of our hike, a big change from the past week of rain and thunderstorms.

Tracy and myself from here at the Blue Ridge office, hung back and let Candace, a staffer from our Charlottesville store blaze the way for a fantastic hike to the top of Humpback Rocks off the Blue Ridge Parkway with a beautiful vista here in the heart of the Virginia Blue Ridge.
