Saying hello... saying goodbye.

It is fall. It is time to say hello to beautiful leaves and amazing days outdoors in the cool autumn air. It is time for bonfires and campouts, retreats and cookie baking. It is time to enjoy rainy mornings in bed and playing outside with my wonder-pup, Nellie.

It is also time to say goodbye.... soon it will be much too cold for flip flops and the open sunroof (although I fully plan to fight on the flip flops until mid November at the earliest!!). It is also time to close up the ropes course for the season and put away my harness and ropes. BOOOOO!!! I spent an AWESOME day at camp Saturday... ok, so my flying squirrel group didn't show, but I did get to take a LONG hike through the trails at Whip Poor Will... on of my my long time favorite places to hike and camp... and I took some pictures...

So, hello to beautiful fall days, goodbye to another great season on the course(s). (OK, so I still have one or two more courses to facilitate this coming weekend, but it is supposed to be cold and rainy, so I am thinking I will mentally close out the season while the memories are so good!)

(This is a new unit I discovered that now stands where the old Nature cabin was... hmmm)















The trail once known as the "Peace Trail"... funny, I don't think I ever knew its ACTUAL name... it goes all the way from the pool out to Cedar Trails, without going through the Arboretum.














The cabin that is now where the Fernwood tent unit used to stand, which has a cute little side porch, but still a gross latrine!!
