A “Health Hike”

This is just a short little blurb, complete with picture, from a September, 1916 Philadelphia newspaper.

It is really not much more than a picture with a caption.

Daughters of Wealthy Families do a 100-Mile “Health Hike”

And the description is a bit wanting.

Barefoot, they walked from South Woodstock, Conn., to Sharon, Mass., in four days as a “back to nature” experiment, which they found rough on the feet. They are pupils of a school of outdoor dancing.

But that’s it.

It does leave one wondering a bit about it all, doesn’t it?
