Embrace the Chill


“How many lessons of faith and beauty we should lose, if there were no winter in our year!”
Thomas Wentworth Higginson

Hello!

Yes. It's COLD! But there is still outdoor adventure to be had.

January's adventures were beautiful!

Thank goodness for 4x4's which allow us to explore country backroads during the snow.

An amazing adventure option is White Rock Moutain for some amazing views in Arkansas. This one requires quite the drive down some dirt roads, but the payoff is amazing! Be sure to take along $3 to put in the drop box when you park.

One of my recent favorite outdoor spots is Roaring River State Park in Missouri. If you haven't visited this place yet, GO!

HOT TIP! The eagles love this place!

And many times in January we stayed closer to home, exploring the roads around Siloam Springs and taking the beauty of City Lake (and the Kayak Park!)

The new adventure location of January for us was Dogwood Canyon. I cannot believe I waited so long to see this one. Check out the full details in the article link below.

What you need to know to plan your perfect adventure.

But honestly, everywhere is pretty beautiful right now.

Time for February Adventures!

I have strong goals to keep the adventure and travels going (in between 3 jobs and a family life). Each month I have goals of

-visiting a new spot

-going on at least 1 hike

-getting into nature weekly

-trying one new thing

Up first for my ONE NEW THING for February- A Polar Plunge!

It sounds crazy. And I don't love the idea. But we are supporting Special Olympics Arkansas. Please consider donating to this amazing cause! (and holding me accountable for the plunge!)

Support my POLAR PLUNGE!

“ “You do not find the happy life. You make it.” — Benjamin Franklin Hello! It's been a minute since the last email! Life has been BUSY! The last half of 2024 included a tornado devastating my hometown and my parents' house, rebuilding, job loss, new job in one field, new licenses, and new jobs in new fields. A LOT! But, we still made time for ADVENTURE! After the job loss, we hit an epic 10-day road trip out west. After that, we stayed close to home for our year end adventures. Our favorite...
