I love to spend my weekends reconnecting with nature; I typically take a day or two to go hiking.

I like to touch base with a new State Park at least twice a month. Sometimes it's as simple as a 30-minute drive, other times it turns into a 4-hour drive. Regardless, I enjoy getting to get some fresh air and having a chance to admire the beautiful and different views nature has to offer.
