"Seasoned Hikers" by Kaye Threatt

trails of mountain memories

A North Carolina writer reflects, with all her senses attuned, on her four-year experience of hiking over 100 trails along the Blue Ridge Parkway stretching through North Carolina and Virginia during every season of the year.

Kaye Craddock Threatt lives in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She taught second grade in Virginia and was employed for 20 years as a primary reading teacher in the Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools. In that capacity she found many opportunities to teach creative writing. In early retirement, she co-edited the Reynolda House Museum of Art newsletter. She still enjoys finding occasions to write and vows to keep the art of letter-writing alive. Kaye’s hobbies include hiking, duplicate bridge, and quilting.
