Castlewood State Park - Sunrise - Park Travel Review
Heading our early for Castlewood State Park in St Louis was a great way to start the day. We just needed to decompress. Getting outside on a trail is our best way to do that.
At Castlewood State Park, we chose the River Scene Trail. On this trail we found vast views from the bluffs of the Meramec River, ruins of an old staircase as a couple the concrete structures that we can't identify. We just needed this 3.5 miles outside today.

Hiking Mount Philo in Vermont
Happy autumn! Autumn means nice cool weather and hiking and apples and cider and cider donuts. The Florida videos will return but I had to share this day! Which was today. Which I then edited this evening. How do people even daily vlog? Today was exhausting. :) Lots of fun though. Hooray mountains!
Short hike on the A T during lunch
I only get 1/2 hour for lunch, so the hike is short. Started at the A T on RT 94 in Vernon NJ. headed east (towards Maine). Then back home
New Jersey Piney Power show: Breathtaking Beauty around Mule Road
This hike takes us west of Davenport Road, near the Holiday Heights neighborhood. The beginning of this hike is in an Audubon Property known as the Hovnanian Preserve. Though it's hard to call it a preserve when you see what they are doing to this place! Basically Audubon caved into pressure from the nearby Holiday Heights neighborhood to reduce fire risk. Which means that the forest is being drastically thinned. This pissed me off ALOT!
What happened here is a travesty and something I will discuss in further videos. Anyway, once far enough west we get away from the cleared area and into some natural pine barrens. This area is extremely desert-like, with nothing but Pitch Pines. Once arriving at Mule Road it really feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. This section of Mule Road is unpaved and has no traffic. Just Great Shapes everywhere. Further north near the power line right of way some Shortleaf Pines make an appearance, as well as a small area of Dwarf Pines. Fortunately this area is an NJ Wildlife Preservation area and not part of the Audubon property.
Feel free to let Audubon know how you feel about the tree clearing going on at the Hovnanian Preserve.

January 24, 2020 - BCC Special Land Use
Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
