Where we roam

Hello, When I started this blog, I had an idea of how I wanted to present my content and how often I wanted to post. I started this blog at a time in my life when a lot of things were occuring. Good things, but many things. Then, things started to slow down. So did my posting. I have big gaps of time where I didn't post anything at all. And I felt guilty. Instead of getting back to it, I ended up not posting.  I wanted this blog to be more about the adventures we go on, details about camping trips, conservation areas, hikes, etc. I didn't want it to be too personal, even if it was a way to keep track of our outings. I am at a point where I've noticed, though, that I keep encouraging others to follow their dreams and thoughts. It could be for simple everyday things, or big and challenging tasks. I don't even follow that in my own life. I should listen to my own advice. There are things I want to accomplish. I need to figure out exactly what those things are and sit d...

Hello, It has been almost a full year since I last posted. I sadly ended up doing what I was hoping not to do with this blog. Which was to not consistently post. There are no excuses. I've always been this way when it comes to blogs I have created in the past.  Since I don't really have a following, I do not feel like I am letting anyone down. Except myself. I was hoping this would also be a good way to keep track of the outings we do, the wonderful sights we see and just overall memories of outdoor adventures for myself and my family.  Now, don't go thinking that we have been sitting around not getting out there. We've still been busy! I must admit we did not get out as much in 2018 as I would have liked, but such is life. We will turn that around this year. I just bought new trail runners and I'm pretty excited to break them in.  We already have our big extended family camping trip booked for Charleston Provincial Park. If you have been there, please let u...

Hello, It has been a rather long time since I've posted. I have another post in the draft folder that I meant to tidy and publish a few months back, and sadly it has sat there forgotten.  I personally find it tough to post about hiking, camping, etc., when the weather outside is frightful, but I need to get over it. Life doesn't stop just because it's not the more pristine weather outside! I need to come up with posts that are related to these topics and that can be shared with my readers in those downtimes. I still have a love and passion for all these things even in less than desirable conditions, so my blog should continue to be updated! All that to say, the weather is getting nicer. I'm very excited about this. It feels like it took a really long time for us to get there this year, with a late snow storm in April and then ridiculous winds and such in this early May. We had a huge pine tree blocking one entrance of our townhouse complex driveway! We took adva...
