#wednesdaywanderings on Thursday. After watching all of the seasons of All Creatures Great and Small, I‘d like to walk the Scottish Highlands. So lush and rich. Orrrr a walk to camp one in the Himalayas would be amazing. #MidSummerSolace #LitSolace

#wednesdaywanderings Very Late!!my most ambitious walk - my best pal and I did the Syttende Mai walk two years in a row. May 17 is my birthday and a nearby town‘s fest to acknowledge the Norway Independence Day. The walk was 17 miles and there was one slice of orange at the single sag wagon. We were armed with snacks the 2nd year. Fool us once… lol - it was a slog and a blast! #LitSolace #MidSummerSolace

1. Most ambitious walk I‘ve done: 10+ mile hike in southern Indiana carrying a 50+lb pack. Ambitious dream: I want to hike the Appalachian Trail.
2. Rural
3. I like trails with lots of water, deep ravines/cliffs, etc. If I don‘t get wet, I‘m bummed. 🤣
4. I always feel exhausted but accomplished. One of my best friends is the only one crazy and fit enough to do the big long hikes with me. ⬇️

A day late, but here is my #WednesdayWanderings post!! My husband and I love to hike and most of our vacations center around doing so, although we are day hikers, not backpackers haha We visited the Lake Placid region back in 2016 and climbed Algonquin Peak. It's not a terribly long hike, but these are photos of the TRAIL - so much of it was just scrambling up rocks! Which meant coming down was just as hard as going up. I would like to say that ⬇

I love walking and hiking. I try to walk a mile or 2 every day. Two years ago, my brother Douglas and niece Kellyn and I hiked the Alum Trail in Gatlinburg Tennessee. It was about six miles up the mountain. My knees aren't that great, plus the altitude made it difficult to breathe at times, but the views were well worth it.

Me -everytime I‘m in California, I walk for miles on the beach, alone. Mr BookHippie watches the shoes. This pic is a rarity I usually have my backpack on with my shoes dangling on the side. This was just a short jaunt as the sun set.

🧭 When I was 12, I joined a group hiking the trails along Skyline Drive; we kayaked back home
🌄🌇 Rural! I need trees and mountains ⛰️
🗺 absolute peace, stunning views, and waterfalls
😊I remember feeling so grateful— my mom and I were together a lot after my parents divorced and I was relieved, as if I could finally breathe

Sadly my health doesn‘t permit much wandering lately, much less of the ambitious variety. But I used to love spending my days walking and hiking, and thinking back on treks from the past is actually a favorite pastime now. Angel‘s Landing wasn‘t the most physically demanding climb, but it was the most dangerous and the most awe inspiring, and one I frequently revisit in my imaginary ramblings.
