From AmericanHiking.org... "Happy Place (defined by Urban
Dictionary)- 1. anywhere you feel the most “at home”
and yourself. It is where you can have fun, smile, laugh, and get
excited. a destination, location, world, where all your friends and
loved ones are together. 2. a place inside all of us where we are
all happy and get the warm and fuzzies. On June 5, 2010, American
Hiking Society and outdoor enthusiasts across the country will
celebrate the 18th annual National Trails Day® (NTD), a
long-standing celebration of America's magnificent trail system and
its countless supporters and volunteers. More than 1,500 events
will take place around the country including trail maintenance,
hiking, paddling, biking, horseback riding, bird watching, running
and trail celebrations. Where do you go to find peace and quiet and
make your troubles melt away? Do you bike to a historic site on a
rail trail? Or hike to a mountain vista? Maybe you paddle to a
swimming hole or walk in your local park? The theme for NTD 2010,
Find Your Happy Place™, encourages all Americans to get
outside, connect with local hiking clubs, outdoor retailers, local
parks and recreation departments or federal land managing agencies
to experience, appreciate and celebrate the outdoor places that
make us happy. "Whether you’re an avid outdoor adventure
seeker or new to our nation’s network of trails, American
Hiking Society’s National Trails Day connects children and
adults with nature so all may experience the joy and happiness that
the outdoors elicits in each of us,” said Gregory Miller,
American Hiking Society president. Since 1993, National Trails Day
has inspired thousands of individuals and community groups to take
part in activities that promote healthy living and mental well
being, protect green space, educate youth and adults on the
importance of trails, and instill excitement for the outdoors. Plan
now to host or attend an event in your area. Help others experience
the joy of the outdoors. Find Your Happy Place
on Saturday, June 5th!
