This Autumn Campfire Hike Is Every Delawarean’s Dream Come True

The Autumn Equinox is coming up, bringing the first day of Fall to the northern hemisphere. While plenty of people don’t celebrate this day in any special way, there are tons of Delawareans who are all too ready to rush out Summer and welcome the best season of the year. If you’re looking to kick off autumn with a bang, join the Delaware Nature Society for their Autumn Equinox Hike and Campfire.

The Autumn Equinox Hike and Campfire is a celebration of fall for Delaware Nature Society members.
