Have you ever set a goal or had certain expectations and things just didn’t turn out as planned? It happens to me all the time to be honest, but I’ve been lucky for the most part in relation to Caroline and mine’s hiking adventures. Even when we just wing it, we still have met or […]
In our first post about our first completed section of the Ozark Trail that Caroline and I finished together, (Ketcherside Mountain to Taum Sauk), we originally thought that we would try to complete all the sections as a duo. Up to that point we’d both completed other sections separately. However, that may have not been […]
It’s March 11th as I type this and I was able to the get in a short hike this weekend. The last of the winter hikes I’m afraid (although it has snowed today). This is the first winter where I have actively hiked more than just one or two hikes on a nice winter day. […]
Early one (almost) spring, Sunday morning, I woke up and had an itch to explore someplace new! Even though there were local trails I still have yet to explore, I had my eye on a couple Illinois trails that featured waterfalls (according to All Trails App) and with the recent rains, I figured it would […]
If you ever want to feel like you are on another planet, Onondaga Cave State Park is the place to visit. Except here you’re not ON our planet, but IN our planet! With spring approaching, and the new season of cave tours just around the corner (Mid April), I wanted to share this amazing Missouri […]
Katie and I decided that in 2018 we were going to make it a point to hike as much of the Ozark Trail as we possibly could. Would we be able to hike in one continuous allotted amount of time? No. Would we be able to hike in “order” or from north to south or […]
We made it! And Buffalo National River did not disappoint! The trails were amazing, yet pushed us more than usual, the fall colors were beautiful, the food was delicious, the hotel was incredible, and the company was priceless! When Caroline and I first started our venture into blogging about our little adventures, one of […]
This is going to be a short trail review over Shepherd’s Mountain Trail that Katie and I did on Thursday evening. I’m going to go ahead and do this now because we both said we didn’t think we would do it again anytime soon. LOL Because of the fall hiking challenge that we are […]
Aaron and I set out this past weekend with the good intentions of checking out the Japanese Festival at the Botanical Gardens with the backup plan being the Greek Festival. We were going to head out early and then I wanted to go a little further north and check out a trail from the book […]
You know it’s going to be a good day when you roll over in bed and ask your husband to take a hike with you and the kids that morning before he goes to work, and his response is “yes!” So 30 minutes later, the 6 of us (Yukon came too) were headed towards Hawn […]
