Chillin at the lake

@MoonlightLullaby I'd love to take you cursing if you're ever around here.

@Nitedoc Thanks. That's very kind of you....

@MoonlightLullaby You're welcome. We're like that around here. We make fast friends and will help anybody. Just don't try to take advantage of us.

I was out there for hours and just about every emotion wanted its turn and I embraced them all. Sitting still and observing is so healing.

Thank you 😊 the sky was magnificent yesterday

@PrestonJ Nature has a way of making me taking pause and feel all my feels. Each element provokes my emotions, even to the point of tears sometimes There's a beautiful awakening of the soul out there...

Happy healing ❤️‍🩹☺️

Nope Tennessee

@PrestonJ Cumberland area then?

Closer to the Smokey’s. This was in Loudon

@lonelyloner I’m lucky that so much beauty is so close to where I live

@PrestonJ You're welcome. I've often mentioned on this site that Arkansas is one of Americas greatest treasures and best kept secrets. What type of outdoor activities are you interested in?

@Nitedoc hiking with mild difficulty, I like some climbing and altitude but I also love being near water and cliffs, or places where you can look out for miles

@PrestonJ The best places will be in North AR. There are so places. Stick with the Ozark mountain regions of N.W. AR. The west central area my be great place to start. Start in Hot Springs National Park first. Read up on it. It is much more than National Park. Read up on Hot Springs specifically too. You'll be amazed at it's history and what all is actually there. I'm serious. Read a little about Murfreesboro. It has the only diamond there in the US. Anybody can go there and dig and pan for diamonds. People find them there pretty often. Most of them are small and make a great souvenir or can be put in a jewelry setting for a nice keepsake and conversation piece. You can float the Caddo river there. Hike trails of all skill levels and cruise on the three lakes there that as called the diamond lakes. Fish, scuba dive, swim, or just relax in a cabin or campground on the lake. Read I little about Hot Springs first and them get back with me. I'll be glad to give you the inside scoop on a lot of things. And that's just in and around one town in NW AR!

I’m extremely lucky to live so close to such beautiful places. The Smokey Mountains are an hour away and there are countless other places surrounding it that are stunning
