It’s time for the 100 Day Project again! They decided to change the date to now instead of the beginning of April so I’ve been in a rush to decide on my idea and get ready to go. I think I’m finally on track though. The project started up on…

Waterfall Wednesday: Sweedler Preserve
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you may remember me previously mentioning Sweedler Preserve and my little mishap with reading the map (reread here). I’ve been reading up on the waterfall and the trails in this preserve and there are many young, experienced hikers that have commented on…
