Sequoyah State Park
Regardless what you do for a living, taking time off and enjoying what nature has to offer is sometimes the best medicine for any ailment.
Yesterday I accompanied a friend of mine and a group of people to Sequoyah State Park in Oklahoma. The nature hike was fun and exhilarating. Tromping through the woods brought back memories of my childhood. Although I don't recall my woods as a child this beautiful and serene.
The gathering was brought together by Meetup, which can be found at www.meetup.com and the hike was guided by Glen with Backwoods located at the Farm Shopping center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
As we embarked on this nature hike, I had no idea what to expect, I merely looked forward to the romping in the woods. We traveled deep into the woods and crossed piles of limbs and streams. Then we came across a couple of old burial sites. So our adventure turned into a bit of a history hike. What fun!
Another note, if anyone is planning any outings this year, be prepared for "TICKS". We found not one, not two, not three, but several..... Even after leaving the park, we discovered ticks in the car, and everywhere you can imagine.
I vowed after yesterday, May 06th, 2012, that I would get more involved and explore other areas of life and wilderness.
Happy hiking if you decide to go.... Oh and if anyone has suggestions about keeping ticks off your body, please feel free to had comments and posts. I really would like some suggestions.
