Let's get outside!
The goal: The intent of this blog is to provide details of planned, monthly weekend outdoor getaways near east-central Illinois. Activities may be as brief as 3-4 hours....or as long as 2 days....but they won't be too processed or micromanaged. The goal is to have fun and learn a bit at the same time. Personally, my initial intent was to build a stronger outdoor relationship with my daughter, but then I figured, why not share the opportunity with others?! We'd love for you to join us!
The schedule: This year, I've planned weekend activities once a month from March through November! My 10 year-old daughter and I will be participating every month, and approximately 7 days prior to each activity, I will be posting details about locations, logistics, schedules, and necessities for each trip.
The scoop: I have no intention of missing these events, but our participation may change due to other short-term/urgent schedule conflicts. It happens. However, prior to each trip, I intent to post enough information that anyone else can certainly adventure out to the sites and participate. Trips in June, July and September are unavoidably/intentionally overnight trips. We're super excited about those. All others can easily be completed between dawn and dusk. Feel free to email me at jthomason11@gmail.com if you have any questions or suggestions!
