Current TopicsChildren Cheer On Bay Trail TrekkerBeacon Day School students proudly display their artwork in support of the Bay Trail; Kurt Schwabe pauses for a photo op with the kids before resuming his 30-day trek around the San Francisco Bay. Photos: Kingmond Young June 13, 2013 “Go Kurt!” read one sign, while another said “Bay Tail Walk,” with a red “R” inserted to correctly spell “Trail.” A group of children paused for a photo op, holding up the Bay Trail banner they’d drawn, while a teacher, megaphone in hand, led everyone in some cheers for Beacon, the Bay Trail and Kurt. Kurt then took the megaphone and told the kids how he loved to play outside and hike when he was their age. “You’re so lucky to have this trail right out the door of your school,” he said. After the short break, Kurt shouldered his backpack and resumed his day’s trek. The school-kids, inspired by Kurt’s energy and enthusiasm, began to run after him, but teachers called them back with promises of a lemonade stop before taking the trail back to Beacon. Now nearly at the halfway mark of his 300-mile goal, Kurt blogs about each day’s experiences at walkingthebaytrail.com, also posting photos. |
