Honoring Craig Howell as a Trailblazer
Here is the statement the Adventuring Board sent to Team DC to nominate Craig Howell for its Trailblazer Award: Craig Howell is a “Trailblazer” for Adventuring in every sense of the term. He became an Adventurer in 1985 and started leading hikes in 1987. Since that time, Craig has led more hikes than anyone can count – averaging a couple dozen per year. Those hikes have ranged from strenuous climbs to the peaks of the Shenandoah National Park to more relaxing strolls along the Potomac (with sufficient time always to engage in what Craig personally trademarked as “dynamic lollygagging”). In addition, Craig has led hikes to Civil War battlefields – allowing Adventurers to benefit from his encyclopedic knowledge of “The Late Unpleasantness.” When he isn’t leading men and women down narrow paths through dark forests, Craig performs yeoman duty to the keep the administrative side of Adventuring moving forward. Craig served as President for 8 years and has been our Woods Coordinator for 13 years (and counting). As the Woods Coordinator, Craig not only makes sure we have hikes scheduled for most weekends of the year, but he has mentored numerous Adventurers to become fellow Trip Leaders. Many of the activities that we now think of as Adventuring traditions came originally from the nimble mind of Mr. Howell. For taking us to the peaks and valleys (as well as all the Sheetz and streams) in the areas around Washington and beyond, we would like to honor Craig Howell as our Adventuring Trailblazer.
