I am just writing as a fan of your posts. I was inspired by your Looming in your Dreams post from the spring to create a bucket list of scary hikes to be completed this summer (I'm a teacher). Because it was the shortest hike, the first trip was to Mt. Algo and the Grand Staircase. We had a great day, a good hike, and enjoyed discovering South Kent, CT. Then I was assigned jury duty, and things kind of . . . dwindled.
We did get to Long Pond Woods in RI and really enjoyed that one, especially the little gorge. Hope to make another trip there and explore some of those adjacent trails.
Also enjoyed the post about Dallas/heat. I am passing on this week's post to my sons, 21 and 24, as reminders. Thank you, and Keep doing what you're doing.
This is honestly music to my ears; hearing that Mind The Moss has sparked some outdoor wanderings in a less familiar locale. (That grand staircase truly lives up to the moniker, eh?) And I'm really glad to hear that you got something from the Dallas story. Sometimes I do wonder if I'm pushing the limits of what people are going to consider interesting, with a few of these stories. If you and/or your sons head to Dallas, I can't recommend a hooded sun shirt enough. It makes a huge difference!
