RE: Wednesday Walk {More Shots from Amicalola Falls}
Absolutely magnificent! I love nature days spent like this. Lots of hiking, birds singing, waterfalling… it all sounds perfect. I’m glad you got to explore your state and take in all that it has to offer. Looks like a fantastic weekend to me @plantstoplanks.
Makes me realize how much more often we need to do weekends like this. So much of this is even close enough for a day trip, but it is nice to tack on a few nights away from home. ;) I've definitely got a few more spots on my list to hit soon! You better post all of your adventures when you take off so I can enjoy yours virtually, too, haha!
Haha… we will. Especially once we settle a bit :) I find I feel so much more happy, like internally happy, when I’m outside. We could just be peddling around town, playing at the beach or whatever, but I’m much happier doing that stuff than sitting in doors. Day trips can be a blast too!
It's so crazy to me, too, because I feel exactly the same way but yet still go too long in between nature therapy sometimes! I am actually pretty pumped to have cooler weather coming because I tend to spend more time outside when it feels more comfortable to really get moving. :)
Oh yeah I bet. How humid is it during summer months for you? Ive heard it gets pretty bad…every time we go inland it seems to be during colder months 🤷🏼♀️
P.s. it’s funny you say you have an irrational phobia of poison oak and snakes… my husband is the same way with those slithery little suckers. I, on the other hand, constantly think I stepped in poison oak, that I have a rash developing or there is a massive spider on my back when we trek it out in the wilderness. Needless to say Costa Rica is going to be fun for both of us. Haha
It gets pretty humid here. Maybe not as bad as some places, but there are mornings when I try to go run and I feel like I need gills because it's 96% humidity levels.
Snakes have always given me the willies. I think some of it stems from my older sister torturing me with worms or anything worm-like as a kid. Now I can't stand anything with no legs, haha! And I had a couple of really awful cases of poison ivy when I was younger. One summer when I was 15 my entire torso was covered in a terrible rash. I honestly thought my skin would be scarred after that bout. All from holding a snuggly puppy that had been out in the woods while wearing a bikini...
I'm sure you will definitely have some interesting experiences there!
Oh no… the puppy tricked you into a bout of poison oak… that’s the meanest thing I’ve ever heard. 😟 sounds like an awful experience. I hope that didn’t turn you into a cat person 🙄. Haha
Would you believe that a couple weeks a year @dandays and I will complain about the awful “humidity” in Southern California? It’s pretty laughable by comparison. I still get my runs in the earlier the better. As the day progresses the wind kicks up and everyone hates running against the wind. Yes I sing that song ‘Against The Wind’ by Bob Seger every time I find myself in that unfortunate position. Haha
I think all of my irrational fear just came from being a hypochondriac 🤷🏼♀️
