There is a light at the end of the tunnel...errr hike. Heading out for a few days of r and r, no h and r. Hike and rest. In that order. Stay tuned #HikeNL #ExploreNLWhen the weather gives you a grey day for your hike, embrace it because you’ll see things in a new foggy light. #HikeNL #ExploreNLImagine the stories this tree could tell...Dreaming of getting out in my sea kayak soon. Here a quick look at a wonderful day we had paddling out of Chapel Cove last summer.Where will your weekend hiking adventures take you?Anna was very excited to be out with the Omas yesterday. The Omas were too-nothing better than exploring the outdoor world at toddler speed. We hiked, played, and learned river hydrology. Outdoor time is filled with exploration, play, learning and fun!TA’s Facebook Page
