Switzerland: Adam Hawthorne ’19 visited Zurich and Lucern with parents, Robert and Vonda Hawthorne. Utah: Jeremy DiGorio ’11 packed his Tiger Rag on a hike of Angels Landing, a 1,488-foot-tall rock formation, in Zion National Park Colorado: Brad McFall ’89 took a skiing trip with his wife, Leslie, his son, Bradley, and his daughter, Audrey, in Aspen. Oregon: Kelli Garcia ’10 traveled to the Pacific Northwest and visited the Oregon Coast to see the Haystack Rock landmark in Cannon Beach, Oregon. Russia: Janis Parham Piland ’83 traveled to Krasnoyarsk in Central Siberia for her son’s wedding. “Our daughter-in-law is from Krasnoyarsk, and we had the pleasure of traveling there last year to celebrate their marriage and meet her warm, wonderful family,” she wrote. Arizona: Jenny Litzenberger ’11 planned an extensive hiking and driving trip to Colorado, Utah and Arizona at the end of February 2021. “This picture was taken in Sedona, Arizona on the Cathedral Rock Trail,” she wrote. “It is only listed at 0.7 miles, but it is extremely steep and difficult. There are ‘cairns’ throughout to guide you along the trail, since it is sometimes difficult to see a path when you are hiking on rock faces. A cairn is the basket of rocks in the picture, but they may also be in a stacked, tower-like rock structure.” Austria: Clay Smoak ’10 visited the Gloriette, an architectural fixture of the Schönbrunn Palace Garden, in Vienna. Tennessee: From left to right, Candace Hall ’10, Lyndsey Williams Mayweather ’10, April Smith ’08, Alexia Richardson ’10 and Nyamekyer Sonja Badu ’11 celebrated their 32nd birthdays in the mountains of Tennessee on a hiking trip led by fellow Clemson alum Ryan Maum ’17, who owns and operates Experience Chattanooga. Ryan shot the photo of the group on the overlook of Cumberland Mountain. “We celebrated our 19th birthdays together in Calhoun Courts and have been celebrating together ever since!” wrote Lynsey. Australia: Patrick Sturgis ’12 was relocated to Australia for work just before the pandemic. When the Northern Territory opened its borders, he quickly jumped on the opportunity to take a trip to Alice Springs to see the remote Australian Outback, including the Standley Chasm. Cayman Islands: Mark Ph.D. ’10 and Ekaterina “Katya” Yazykova Ph.D. ’12 Mellott — who are both senior lecturers in Clemson’s MPA program — snapped a picture with their Tiger Rag off Grand Cayman Island after snorkeling with the family.
