Coming around a bend in the path on a day hike, I come across this friendly greeting.
Chronicling the adventures of a middle-aged woman re-discovering and exploring the Great Outdoors (solo!), after a 20+year absence: camping for the first time; biking; hiking; and whatever other new & fun outdoorsy things that come my way. Hopefully, my adventures will inspire other women, especially ones who think they're "too old for that kind of stuff" to get Outdoors and find energy, rejuvenation, and self-confidence in Nature.

Whimsy!
Family and friends are starting to get involved with my adventures. On a day-trip to Roots (an Amish market and auction near Lancaster, Pennsylvania), family members helped me load up with camping goodies. These were in addition to a long list of supplies I just recently purchased at the REI grand opening.
Wandering through the "flea market" area, we saw a table full of these solar-powered gadgets: leaves fluttering in the breeze, flowers nodding their heads ... so silly and goofy, I had to have one.
Well, newbie at blogging too. Can't get video to upload. But here's a photo minus the bobbing and fluttering:
Also irresistible: a campsite welcome flag and pole to make my site more home-y and inviting.
Other goodies I scored on the shopping trip included a woven rug to use as an entrance mat, a huge fleece quilt, and tiny tupperware containers. NONE of these items are essential, but fun.
