Hey travel bugs! Long time no talk! It’s been a busy year of work, travel, working on my upcoming novel, and a medical procedure that gave me some time to rest and think about priorities.
Last year I got my driver’s license and this summer I’m determined to make the most of my days off by exploring places I haven’t been before and places I’ve been to in the past but haven’t been able to get to for one reason or another. I made myself a list for the “Summer of Exploration,” but my list really stretches far into the fall. Some of these I’ve already checked off, some are fun activities / movies and some are parks I’m planning to return to as I’ve also made exercise a priority…
1. High Cliff State Park, Sherwood, Wisconsin
2. Iverson Park and Bound to Happen Books, Stevens Point, Wisconsin
3. Firebrand (movie) – June 14, 2024
4. Mosquito Hill Nature Center, New London, Wisconsin
5. Hayman Falls County Park, Shawano County, Wisconsin
6. Hartman Creek State Park, Waupaca, Wisconsin
