First Day Hike 2025
For my first post of the year, I have a set of photos I took on my first day hike. Every year on January 1st, I like to go hiking in a state park. It started when I was on Long Island, and I carried the tradition when we moved to Virginia. This year weContinue reading “First Day Hike 2025”
High Bridge Trail Hike
About two weeks ago, I took a trip to High Bridge Trail to hike. This State Park features a trail that is a converted railroad. It is incredibly flat and extends for miles upon miles. I ended up doing just over 15 miles and cut through Farmville, Virginia. Today, I have some pictures of theContinue reading “High Bridge Trail Hike”
First Day Hike 2024
Happy New Year everyone! Earlier today we went on a First Day Hike at Pocahontas State Park. We ended up cutting our trail time short because of the weather, but it was still a great time! I hope everyone has a great day!

Instead, we did a different section of that trailContinue reading “Cumberland State Forest”

While the trails weren’t the most challenging, it was a relaxing hike (for the most part). I did end up cutting my hike short due to some rainy, windyContinue reading “Occoneechee State Park”
Lake Anna State Park
A few weeks ago, I went out to Spotsylvania to visit Lake Anna State Park. It was in the mid-thirties and quite muddy, but I had a great time. I did about 8 miles including the Goodwin Gold Mine Loop. While hiking, I found several traces of the wildlife that calls Lake Anna home. IContinue reading “Lake Anna State Park”
