About 40 PATC Charlottesville hikers and friends of hikers gathered at Dunlodge cabin Sunday afternoon for a potluck feast. Judging from the prodigious outlay, these are hikers who can both eat AND cook.
In addition to sharing salads, soup and scones, they swapped vacation plans and recent hiking adventures before settling out doors (of course) for updates on PATC administrative issues and concerns as outlined by Rush Williamson, vice president of operations. Also making the trip south to central Virginia was Emeline Otey, supervisor of marketing, who brought a wide selection of PATC publications for purchase, including the just published 2017 edition of Hikes in the Washington Region. Former president and current PATC archivist Tom Johnson and Mel Merritt, current supervisor of cabins operations, were also in attendance from the DC area. District Manager Don White thoughtfully acknowledged John Shannon's many years of being the president of the Charlottesville Chapter and keeping it together.

The Charlottesville chapter of the PATC will celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of PATC at its September meeting. Expect cake on the dessert menu!
