Well, we made it to Thanksgiving, which is more th

It started with a trail...
🚲
Jenn and I met online (thanks @plentyoffish ) and our 1st date was nearly disastrous (story for another day 😉). Our 2nd date biking was enchanting...for me🤣 Jenn was fully decked out, and I was impressed that she could hang for 30-miles. She thought I was goofy and annoying, showing up in gym shorts and white New Balance sneakers (RIP), talking WAY too much WAY too early in the morning. To my credit, I showed up on time and rode by her side. That was good enough for a 3rd date. Eventually, I won her over.
🚲
Our love of biking inspires us to ride almost every place we travel from cycling 150 miles down the coast of Thailand to connecting to our hometowns for our last 8 years together (Tucson, San Diego, Orlando, now Huntsville Al.). We barely unpacked our last moving box when news of the Coronavirus begun taking over the world. Soon, we were holed up & telecommuting doing our part to stop the spread of the pandemic.
🚲
There has been a huge increase in trail use as people have learned to live in a pandemic and to #recreateresponsibly. It was time to explore Alabama and we planned the cycling trip we had been coveting since our move, the Chief Ladiga Trail. The CLT is Alabama’s premiere Rails-to-Trails project running 33-miles from Anniston to the Georgia state line. There, it connects to the Silver Comet Trail for another 70 miles into Atlanta.
🚲
We felt a connection building with our new home as we rode. When we entered the Talladega National Forest, riding through the deep woods watching the rising mists and deer wandering out of the groves of trees, I remembered how much I love biking with Jenn and sharing these experiences.
🚲
We're over the moon to have partnered with @RailstoTrails to share our Trail Moment. The Trail Moments campaign is focused on connecting people and communities by sharing these beautiful moments.
🚲
We invite you to share your #TrailMoments to inspire others to explore trails and the outdoor spaces close to home. Help your local leaders to understand how vital trails are to the health and well-being of your community. Connect to to yourself, your loves, and your community through trails❣

Some people call 2020 the year of the road trip. Looking at the front page of our site, we can tell that's true for us. Our last three articles are a North Alabama Natural Wonder Road Trip, Huntsville Biking, and our latest Franklin in the Fall. Franklin, BTW, is an excellent place to go on a road trip. There's yummy food, comfy hotels, and some great country drives.⁣

This picture is of the Natchez Trace Parkway, which runs right by Franklin. It's a 444-mile scenic route through some beautiful country in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennesee. We only went on the Parkway for 10-miles but loved the fall colors and easy driving. We loved exploring around Franklin too, going to the vineyards, distilleries, and even an alpaca farm (don't worry, there are alpaca pics coming soon 😉).⁣

Where have you gone on a road trip this year?

With the world today, we find ourselves exploring

With the world today, we find ourselves exploring locally more and more. Luckily for us, Franklin, Tennessee, is right around the corner. Our latest blog post tells the story, but here are the highlights.
🍷
🍷
Franklin was filled with delicious food and live music. These shots are from the Arrington Vineyard, which had not one but two live music venues rolling. The Lodge had smooth jazz and blues up on the hill, while the Barn had good old-fashioned bluegrass down in the valley. Of course, there was wine tasting, but also plenty of room to spread out, socially distanced from others, but nice and close to the ones you love.

If you live near Franklin, you should come down and check it out. If not, perhaps you can find your own special spot near home.

Sometimes it seems like 2020 is burning everything

Sometimes it seems like 2020 is burning everything down around us? Our daughter, a student at UC Santa Cruz, stayed with us over this summer. We watched the news as fires came close to destroying her school and scorched through the redwood forests. After a long, hot summer, we took her back to California to see what remained.⁣
🔥⁣
🔥⁣
Things weren't as bad as we feared. Her school and the town escaped major damage, as well as Henry Cromwell Park. This photo was from September 2020, and, as you can tell, everything looks to be ok.⁣
🔥⁣
🔥⁣
Once again, we learned that nature and people are resilient, and things aren't as bad as they appear on the news. It makes you think we should all spend less time watching the news and more time walking in the forest.⁣

What have you been working on spending more time doing lately?

And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe⁣
Maybe this year will be better than the last⁣
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself⁣
To hold on to these moments as they pass⁣

Sometimes a song captures your mood perfectly. I always thought I was a mountain girl through and through until I moved to San Diego and then Florida. There, I fell in love with the ocean. I left both places sooner than I would have wanted because of Ed's work. I imagined that I would be returning to the oceans more than we have, but 2020 is 2020.⁣

This is a shot of the Big Sur coast from our recent road trip taking my stepdaughter back to school in Santa Cruz. Seeing this, I realized how much the rugged shoreline and blue waters felt like home. It's been so long since I've seen the ocean, I guess I should.⁣
