Welcome to Virginia

Blacksburg, VA.  Population: ~43,000.  College students as a percentage of population: 58%.

Blacksburg, Virginia is home to the Hokies. There's no denying that we have taken a hold on this town and drowned it in a wave of orange and maroon.  But as a student, I've noticed that while the bars are highly frequented and on a nice day, the drillfield is crowded with pickup sports and lounging students, too many of students fail to look beyond the hokie stone and see what else the area has to offer.

Let me tell you one thing - Blacksburg, and its surrounding area, is beautiful.  



In this little blog, I hope to document some of my hiking experiences and take you on a tour of the state that I call home.
