In medieval times a large portion of the world was unknown, so mapmakers would sometimes label those areas “Here be dragons.”
Evidently the same thing applies to the woodlands of Pennsylvania. The Penn State Outing Club, founded in 1920, almost 100 years ago, announced that the University will no longer allow the Club to organize outdoor trips led by students. The hiking and camping the Club did are just too risky, according the the offices of Student Affairs and Risk Management.
You must have heard the criticism that our kids are growing up coddled, watched over at all times, not allowed to be independent. I believe it.
