Under the Canopy
A hike under the canopy of trees is simply delightful, especially when combined with cooler than normal temperatures and very few pesky mosquitoes. Can’t get much better than that!

Off the Beaten Path
What is more fun than planning a road trip off the beaten path? A chance to revisit some of those unfrequented spots and add a few new ones as well. A trip through southern Indiana is in the works and there’s one place I must stop at again. The Bean Blossom Bridge is a one-lane…
