    Getting ready for outdoor fun

    I do that’s why I started this thread lol I think I might garden this year and fish and forage I need something to look forward too lol
  4. Not this year and at least not next year in the Spring. My sister and I have some camping plans still once Daddy and I get moved down there. So that will hopefully be in the fall next year. Although, there are a few things I'd like for Daddy and I to do around here before we leave. We have a train excursion that's about 3 hours or so and they serve lunch or Dinner. I've done it before, a long time ago and it was really nice and alot of fun. Also, we have the Passion Play here. Daddy has never been, so I'd like to take him to that. And a few other outings. How about you, @beanbean, do you have any plans?
  5. So at least for me winter kinda sucks brings my mood down .so I was thinking anyone have any plans now or in the spring for outside activities that you’re looking forward too?
  6. We are glad you found us then.
  7. Very random and irrelevant but I love that this club exists! I'm a huge nature fan and a natural explorer I think! I love backpacking, camping, hiking and travelling/exploring!(I literally squealed when I found this club)
  8. I love the way you describe things! That sounds like a dream💕
  9. today the sky was clear blue and there were big fluffy white clouds with just enough gray to give them dimension. it was kinda windy and the waves were up so i practiced skipping rocks between breaks. the water was warmer than the air. then i got lost in time watching a sandpiper. the sunset was spectacular with vivid rainbows contrasting against the clouds. it almost felt otherworldly.
  10. It does sound amazing for sure
  11. That sounds like an amazing day. I can almost hear the gulls, thank you for sharing.
  12. ive been going to the dunes 5 nights a week to watch the sunset on Lake Michigan. it’s like Mother Nature is painting the most glorious picture again and again every night and it makes me really grateful to be alive on planet earth at this time. today it was warm enough to walk barefoot in the water but chilly enough to need a light jacket just as the sun was dipping below the horizon. for a while I laying with my head in the sand watching the seagulls in the clear sky. i skipped every flattish rock I found for 2 miles up the beach and 2 miles back, peed in a tuft of dune grass, found 2 pieces of clear beach glass, 12 crinoid fossils (which are my faves), one regular rock shaped like perfect heart and picked up some abandoned trash. it was purrrrfect. and i plan to go back tomorrow night.
  13. Ok so I am absolutely loving the cooler temps and sunny days. But at the same time find myself so busy I can't enjoy them like I want to. I am doing all my builds for the shop outside so I can get the cool air and sun. I really want to be fishing or crabbing but I have things that have to be done while we do have all this beautiful weather. We are also under a burn ban so I haven't been getting my campfire cologne fix. So I need someone to post some pics or tell me how you're enjoying this weather. Let's get this club active. Also if you have any more section ideas post them in the Topics Section so we can make them happen. I just realized we had 2 that needed to be topics so now we have geocaching and hiking added to our list.

    Havasu Falls(Backpacking)

    It truly was a beautiful place!

    Havasu Falls(Backpacking)

    That does look amazing
  16. Hiii So if you haven’t heard of this place pls check it out! It is truly the most beautiful place I’ve been. It is a 10-15 mile hike in(depending where you choose to camp) and then from there they have trails that can be up to 15 miles further. It was a stunning place- tiring as heck but stunning! I loved every moment of the trip(I’ve been twice now) they did just have a major flash flood that actually hurt people(avoiding using a more harsh term). My second trip we had a flash flood warning but we were ultimately safe. I say this because it’s not for the first time hiker(but it can be for the first time backpacker! I was!) Stunning water that is not photoshopped but truly looks it. It is on Native land so you have to get permits and pay a lot.. worth it. You can also pay to have a mule help bring stuff down. It’s in Arizona, USA and people travel from all over to see it because it’s totally worth it! posted a pic of it on here too!

    Hey y'all

    Hallo. I love being outside. Long walks in the woods, searching for chestnuts and the Most beautiful Lears and beautiful bugs. Lieing in my hammock and watching the clouds and birds. Sleeping in my garden, watching the stars while I fall asleep. This are moments of Peace for me. 🥰

    Show us what you cooked

    Since the ground is so wet from the hurricane I stopped off yesterday and grabbed a 16" x 16" paver and sank it in the ground a little. That way I have a nice dry spot to build my fire and rearranging the blocks gives me a lot more room. Woke up this morning and started a fire and enjoyed bacon, eggs, charred green onions, and coffee. I must have sat there a couple hours sipping coffee and watching the chickens peck around the new run I built this morning. I'm planning on doing some more cooking on this setup this weekend. This was the initial fire yesterday to make sure that concrete paver didn't do any popping or anything else from the heat.

    Foraging

    My muscadines are starting to put out like crazy but I have a feeling the critters will get them before they are ripe enough to pick. They always do.

    Foraging

    Mushroom hunting been great and found some wild berries too
  22. It does look wonderful fore sure
  23. Absolutely amazing views, easy to see why you love hiking there. Also the spot I would head for when the zombies start showing up.
  24. I figured this would be a perfect spot to document some really good hiking trails and view destinations. I always post pictures but this seems like the perfect place to explain a little bit about the trails , the destination/end point of the trails and the views. I feel really blessed as Washington state has some of the best views in general let alone when you finish a hike. This time we went to High Rock Lookout in Ashford , Wa. There used to be a house at the very top that people would camp overnight in , for free mind you. So first come first serve , the house is gone but the landing / floor is still there so people will camp out there even with the house gone. This is how far away it is from our starting point : Along the trail there is tons of flowers , chipmunks and squirrels to look at and talk to : From our starting point to the ending point alone (the drive up was a lot of incline and mileage itself) we hiked an elevation of 1,290 feet. The views from up so high are immaculate , but even part way up was wild. Here is some high up views from about 1/2 way up and 3/4 way up to our ending point : And finally , our highest peak …. High Rock Lookout :

    Fire Starters

    Sometimes it's hard to justify turning on the stove and making a mess for 3 or 4 slices lol.
