Balance in the Outdoors

hksbks

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @Shawninthewild A2) I work to balance ON and OFF time - i.e. times when I socialize and times when I need solitude. #NationalParks help with the latter for me. My solo road trips rejuvenate. #DeathValley #ParkChat

A2. I live in a place where being outdoors is just part of daily life. I'd always rather be outside so staleness is not a problem! #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A2 Yes. Romantic picnic trail lunches? With myself. #ParkChat

A2. Seek new adventures, new destinations, new adventure friends. If you do those things, how could exploring nature ever grow stale?

A2 #ParkChat Research and planning go a long way for enjoyment of a Park visit. Less planning unfortunately means less enjoyment when I have to replay due to weather. Like now in South Dakota.

A2 I’m not sure I even find the parks and outdoors stale. Seasonal changes alone refresh the visit even to a place I’ve been tons. #ParkChat

replying to @hksbks @Wild_Tribute @Shawninthewild ... and apparently I need more down time right now since I answered question one by saying it was question two (Q1 👉 A2 🤪) #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A2: Find Joy in all places, National Parks are awesome but if you can’t get there, State Parks/Local Nature Preserves work just as well. It helps to have options #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A2. Stay greedy. Look at pictures (mine, others), think of what I've seen where, and how much more there is to see, and imagine ways of getting to see it. #parkchat

I just have to look out at the mountains on clear days to start thirsting/pining/whining for the outdoors

A2 Meditate with the windows open, using birdsongs (daytime) and cricket frogs (nighttime) as a mantra #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A2) Believe after the last few weeks where I've had an MRI, Ultrasound & CT Scan for a couple different health concerns, my thirst for the outdoors was at an all time high. #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild #ParkChat A2 we try to explore new places every year to keep the adventure fresh. But we do leave time for our favorites too.

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A2: Since I spend most of my time inside, with outside being a treat, how could it possibly ever get stale? #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A2: Always looking for new and different adventures. Also I have acquired an outdoor family here in TN when I do not feel like going it alone #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A2. I'd guess we've hiked this particular stretch of trail at nearby #CaesarCreek @OhioStateParks 50+ times, in all seasons, and it never gets stale! Just getting out whenever possible is enough to keep that thirst alive! #ParkChat

A2 This is a good question to ask as I'm thinking about house designs, it's possible to design our living spaces to create a connection w/ the outside & encourage us to get outside #ParkChat

TheDetourEffect

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild @Wild_Tribute A2 #ParkChat my body kind of telepathically tells me when it’s time to get outside, I start jonesing. But also seeing cool stuff bloggers or twitter folks are doing inspires me to try new things! And outdoor athletes when I watch docs or read @outsidemagazine or @BackpackerMag

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A2. I don't think the outdoors has ever gone stale for me. There's SO MUCH to learn, and I'm constantly learning. Plants, animals, fungus, soils, geology, weather...how can anyone be bored with all this explore? #parkchat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A2 Love to find new places to see. New spots in old favorites too. Old favorites keep me happy too though, honestly. #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A2: I love being outside and try to get out once everyday even if it’s brief. I love the water, trees, birds. unfortunately we have a severe tick problem where we live. #ParkChat
