HIKING A TRAIL NAMED AFTER
THE 'MAN IN BLACK'
Eric Haskins, team lead coordinator
mailroom, corporate administrative
services, traveled to Tanzania, Africa,
on a 10-day mission trip to minister
to children with his church Victory
Christian Center-Warren Campus.
Haskins was a part of the SOS Kids
Adventure Ministry Team. Their
mission consisted of loving and
preaching Jesus to school age
children in Tanzania. They ministered
to the children of Arusha through
festivals that included food, games
Lori Murphy, consulting arborist,
Davey Resource Group, took a
trip to Folsom Prison in Folsom,
California, to hike the Johnny
Cash Trail. Murphy hiked the
2.5-mile trail with her brother
and her two granddaughters.
Famously, Johnny Cash
performed at Folsom Prison,
the maximum- security facility
northeast of Sacramento, on
Jan. 13, 1968, and recorded the
concert live for his At Folsom
Prison album.
and a drama performance.
During one of his free days,
Haskins had the opportunity
to go on a safari and visit
Tarangire National Park,
where this photo was taken.
"The best part of the safari was
the chance to see the animals
of Africa up close and personal,"
he said. "I hoped to get an up-close
glimpse of the lions but was only
able to see them from a long
MISSION TRIP, SAFARI & TREE OF LIFE
DAVEY AROUND THE WORLD
distance. Also, having the
opportunity to see a Baobab,
the Tree of Life, was awesome."
"It's a beautiful hike around
Folsom Prison," Murphy said.
During her hike, Murphy spotted a
blue oak acorn and leaves with pink
oak galls. The blue oak is one of the
native oak trees growing all along
the Johnny Cash Trail.
The bridge in the background of
the photo is called "Robbers Ravine
Bridge," which crosses a deep
ravine named for the outlaws that
used it to hideout after robbing
stagecoaches in the 1800s.
