Viewing Album:  NS's Treks Through The JMU Campus
 
By:Stephen Brock
Dates:5/11/2007 - 10/30/2007
Album Info:James Madison's Campus is very beautiful and very well kept! The vantage points for viewing the daily train passes have diminished alot since my days there in the 80's. This is mostly due to growth, of both new buildings and trees. Many trees that were 5-7' tall then are now 20-25' now. This spot however remains good and is located at the west side of Godwin Hall's parking lot.
