Brian Bell has shaped his life to enable him to spend as much time as he can in the outdoors. He looked for a local trail club to see if he could help, then volunteered more and more until he took responsibility as a trail overseer in Shenandoah National Park.

Continuing to give back to his local community, he has started a volunteer organization called Keep Virginia Cozy, putting together teams to spend some time in the outdoors and picking up litter that they find.

Bounce has had a tough few days. After our chat, I found out a little more. This is the picture he posted on his Facebook page.

Grandma Gatewood has reached the end of the road and we hear of her final days. I don't know about you, but I will miss her!
