Adventures are a big part of me

I was so fortunate to be raised my maternal grandparent! I learned the best things in life are the little things! The dew in a spider web is more beautiful than the diamonds one could have around ones neck! Because each web is unique each droplet has traces from all over the world! The way the sunlight is hitting it at that very moment you see it will never be captured again anywhere else! I was raised country, learned to appreciate the wilderness! It is ingrained into my DNA! I am part of it! For I am wild, untamed, free spirited! I am at home in the wilderness more so than in a house! Come follow me on my adventures! My trips, Hikes , and outings of all kinds!

Come follow my page on facebook!

I love to be connected with everyone! Come follow me on all of my social media!

    This was the hardest rock for me to leave behind! On October 5th at the Natural Bridge I left the ashes of my late husband. In several places that we would go together. This one is something he use to say to the young kids during his animal shows and talks to kids out hiking when he would see them with there soda cans and candy bars! Thankful my 4 sweet guardian angels where there with me!

    Big bone lick state park

    UNION, KENTUCKY


     

    Big Bone Lick State Park is located at Big Bone in Boone County, Kentucky. 

    This has always been one of my favorite local parks to go to! I grew up visiting this park with my family from walking in the creek catching salamanders , frogs and crawdads To flying kites, hiking the trails playing put put, picnics and just enjoying the campfire after hiking the trails!

    So much to enjoy here I love to take my grandbaby here whom you will all get to know as my mermaid!


    The name of the park comes from the Pleistocene megafauna fossils found there.

    Mammoths are believed to have been drawn to this location by a salt lick deposited around Sulphur springs. Other animals including forms of bison, caribou, deer, elk, horse, mastodon, moose, musk ox, peccary, sloth, and possibly tapir also grazed the vegetation and salty earth around the springs that the animals relied on for their diet. 


    The area near the springs was very soft and marshy causing many animals to become stuck with no way to escape. It bills itself as "the birthplace of American paleontology", a term which dates from the 1807 expedition by William Clark undertaken at the direction of President Thomas Jefferson. In Nicholas Creswell's journal, dated 1774 to 1777, he records a visit in 1775 to what was then called "Elephant Bone Lick." In this account,  Cresswell describes finding several bones of "prodigious size", as well as tusk fragments, and teeth—one weighing approximately 10 pounds. While he assumed the bones were from ancient elephants, the local native traditions claimed the bones to be those of white buffaloes that had been poisoned by the salty water.


    The Discovery Trail begins at the Megafauna diorama, just behind the visitor’s center.  The trail meanders along Big Bone Creek past interpretive panels that impart the prehistoric drama that unfolded around the salt/sulfur springs during the last Ice Age.  The trail is open daily from dawn to dusk. Back when I was younger there was more displays through out the trail but time, weather and vandals have eradicated those displays! I would love to see them restored!


    Hiking enjoy the serenity of wooded seclusion along the trails at one of Kentucky’s most unique parks. There are 4.5 miles of hiking trails with each varying in terrain and difficulty. Observe an abundance of wildlife as the trails meander from forested ridges to the babbling waters of Big Bone Creek. Open year round.

      FORT MORGAN


      Fort Morgan is one of my favorite places to be! The history and scenery are so fascinating! But the solitude early in the mornings as the sun is coming up or in the evenings as the sun is going down! Simply breath taking! one of my quite places to just sit back and take in the sights, sound and smells of the area! Being out in mother nature is my therapy! it brings a calm to me like no other! Suffering from PTSD, Depression, severe Anxiety Attacks all of that seems to fall away when I can just sit back in a natural setting with nothing but the sweet lullabye of mother nature! The touch of her warm hand upon my face the feel of her breath in my hair! It is one of my favorite things in the world, to walk barefoot hand in hand with mother nature!

      I love the fact that my girls love to go places like this and that they pass this down to there children! 


      This place was a big force during several wars, the history is deep!

      Come to listen to the history with a guided tour and see the structures remaining from different eras of military occupation at Mobile Point and Fort Morgan.
      More than just history, the site also has nature areas, and a boat launch for the whole family to enjoy.

      Self guided tours are available everyday from 8am to 5pm.
