Just spent 48 hours on the North Country Trail in Western Michigan. Hiked 24 miles, encountered four species of woodpecker, as well as loons, hummingbirds, scarlet tanager, and hermit thrush. I even met a frog who was swimming in his personal pond inside a discarded ice bag. All told, a nice trip.

I was born when gaud was a teenager- so I too do not move as fast as I used to do. I quit smoking (get this) about 45 years ago. In the spring of 2017 there was a month-long machine rowing contest, with 24 members, at fitness- I came first with 370 km.
It's amazing that some people can't name their most valuable asset. Their car? Their castle? Their large bank account? "It is my opinion" (if that matters),if they don't try to live a healthy, productive life, they will die early and have no access to any of this worthless junk.
Enjoy your day

I LOL’d at ‘gaud was a teen’. Possessions seem meaningless beyond their usefulness. Experiences are what make us rich, right?
@Untamedshrew Yep. IMO, things of value, tangible or intangible, are worth more than expensive junk.
Did you camp overnight?

Posted by CallMeDaveI've never been a big wildflower person, but this is the season for it here in Appalachia. Other people can identify every variety. I'm not there yet.
