With all of the instability in the world we all look to escape the social constructs of society to some degree. Today my friends and I sought to achieve this and we decided to go hiking. This usually would not be something I would be totally for but it could not have been more perfect.
Since we all had just finished the majority of our exams we sought a way to get away from the rule stricken city and drove only 30 mins to a play called pilot knob. To get there we drove on a street with plenty of houses and it seemed as if the COVID-19 virus did not exist with people playing with their pet Turkeys; yes, I said Turkeys. It seemed all so simple and fun. We had then arrived and stepped just past the entrance sign and immediately saw a rocky creek which had carved through the slate and clay mountain. We then hiked 2.50 miles and about 15,000 feet. At the top of the mountain we sat for a good 45 minutes and took in the view as we could see everything for miles, including Lexington itself. At the top of that mountain all we could think was about the beauty of nature. This small three hour escape for the real world provided us with a break from the COVID-19 outbreak and just allowed us to have fun in the great outdoors.
