While I was typing up the paragraph on our search for the geocache on
the Peewah Trail in Trail of Tears State Park, I was reminded of just
how much fun we have, as a family, searching for these little bits of
hidden treasure. I'll admit, even as a supposedly full-grown adult, my
eyes light up just as much as my daughter's each time we find a
geocache, and I'm always anxious to see what is inside!...

There are a lot of good things about making your own bug repellent, for
one, you know everything that is going into the batch, so if you have
allergies or find that particular scents make you ill, you can easily

adding or removing water from the concoction and, you may even want to
cackle maniacally as you fully enter your "mad scientist" mode as you
mix, children LOVE this part (so practice your BWAAH, HA, HA's)...

We've all been here. The TV weatherperson just called the upcoming
weekend the "very best ever!" and the smiling sun graphic behind them
has you wanting to get out, get in touch with nature, breathe in a bit

Wouldn't you like to get away? Away from the streets teeming with
exhaust spewing mechanical monsters, the constant singing of cell
phones, crowded water holes, the chirping of emails in your inbox, the
clamor of people as they march to and fro... Don't you deserve a break? A
chance to leave technology and other people behind, a chance to take in
a bit of nature's splendor in solitude?
Heck yea you do, and it's easier than you think, you just need to get out and experience your local wilderness areas!...

Fleetwood Mac had it right, "You Can Go Your Own Way" anytime you like
when you're out hiking and you don't need to be a Meriwether Lewis or
William Clark either. All you need is a compass, a map and the knowledge
of how to use it. Here's a how to on what a compass is, what parts make
up the compass and how to put it all together with a map in order to
find your way. Beware... Fist pumping is advised...
