My latest adventures include an hour drive from Hendersonville, N.C. to Spartanburg, S. C. I’ve never been there. I explored Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve. There are walking trails and water features. I also checked out the downtown area and … Continue reading
The last couple of days have been nice! I went hiking with a Meetup group at Chimney Rock State Park. Hickory Nut Falls is a beautiful trail within the park and the 404-ft waterfall is impressive. Yesterday I went with … Continue reading
Friday I participated in a Pilates class at the Y. It feels good to be active. It was a pretty day so I decided to drive a half an hour from Hendersonville, North Carolina to Dupont State Recreational Forest and … Continue reading
Thursday’s adventures began before sunrise. I drove from Kanab, Utah to hike in Page, Arizona. I was the only person on the 3.5 mile hike. Then I stopped at the grocery (since it’s so expensive here in Kanab) and drove … Continue reading
Tuesday I drove an hour from Kanab to Hurricane, Utah and hiked a 2-mile trail. It was short and easy, but that’s what I wanted. Then I went to Zion Canyon Hot Springs and spent a couple of hours soaking … Continue reading
