I was looking forward to Bloganuary, but it seems like they are giving us the same recycled prompts again. Mine for today has already been answered so I’m not wasting my time.

Because I already do have a challenge or two for myself this year I am choosing to go with that. I prefer the word “challenge” to the word “resolution”. The first challenge is hiking 52 times this year. One for each week. There are so many hikes in my area and closely surrounding that I shouldn’t have to repeat any, but you never know.

Today’s hike kicked off the new year! We drove an hour to the trailhead in nearby Unicoi County. I get emails about unique things to do in my home state of Tennessee and this trail was in a recent one. I looked it up in the AllTrails app and started planning. One thing that I found interesting is that there is a waterfall that is said to be beautiful when it freezes. Unfortunately our weather has been too warm for that. It has been very wet so we had to be careful not to slip in some spots. Fun was had by all and I’m looking forward to more. Happy New Year!
