Amazing RT Hike

Probably one of the most fun hikes I've been on in ages. Between the amazing company of one of my best friends and the amount of nature we experienced, this whole day was one I never want to forget!

Here's a list of what happened:
• Cemetery in the woods
• Gorgeous spring flowers all over
• Pond full of every creature you could image
• Catching a giant bullfrog
• Catching a newt
• Seeing a big snake eat a giant bullfrog
• Seeing a skink for the first time in the wild running up a tree
• Butterflies EVERYWHERE!
• Incredible view
• No poison ivy or sunburn (that's a first!)

And without further adieu, here are some photos:

Pretty flowers growing in the trees

You would so lose a game of hide and go seek.

This place is so beautiful, and so remote

Look what I caught! Hello there bullfrog!

Are you a butterfly or a moth?

Glamorous!

Memories

Finally, a recent photo! Taken while visiting the place I've had some of my most fun times as a young adult. The first time I visited here was years ago - I was probably a teenager - with my best friend from childhood. He heard about this ghost town in a state park and we went to visit it. He was SO excited, it was hard not catch on! I've visited this place several times since, but this has always been my favorite part of the town. And every time I pass through it, I think of my my best friend, and some of the crazy adventures we had growing up! Good times <3
