🌍 Geographical adventures in the Potomac Highlands. 🏞️ Mr. Yocum and Mrs. Lora Chapman took Mr. Yocum's Geography Class on an adventure to the beautiful mountains of Tucker, Randolph, and Pendleton Counties this Friday, October 18, 2024. Students experienced the majestic scenes of Black Waterfalls, Spruce Knob, and the dramatic grandeur of Seneca Rocks. Our young scholars were also able to observe the beautiful colors of the Autumn leaves that our great state of West Virginia has to offer while immersing themselves in a real-world study of Geography. After a long day of hiking and exploring, the group stopped for a sweet treat at The Donut Spot. #gogilmer #GeographyAdventures
