Strolling and rolling on the Boone Greenway

Trails for All

The medical community touts time outdoors as good medicine for everyone. In fact, some doctors are prescribing nature as a treatment for stress, anxiety, obesity, and for improving overall mental health. Taking time to smell the flowers is good for us! With that in mind, here are a few trails that are accessible to all – no matter your age or ability – to take a break from devices and the general hubbub of daily life.

Friends Day is September 9

When you think of people or groups that make things happen, who or what do you think of? Maybe it’s Ghostbusters because you can call them to take care of the haunting feeling you get in your basement. Perhaps it’s the construction workers who built the Pentagon in a mere 16 months – now that’s making it happen! Or those local volunteers at the food bank – they sure can turn a little into a lot! Spongebob, he can be counted on to go the extra mile and get others on board. Maybe it’s a good friend you know you can always count on to pitch in on a project.

Tailgating - An Adrenalin-Infused Picnic

When someone says the word “picnic,” you may think of a quiet little spot, maybe near a river or pond, a blanket spread on the grass, and a wicker basket filled with dainty sandwiches. When someone says the word “tailgate,” meaning the meal before the big game, your mental picture changes in big ways, with the first one being it is NOT a quiet little spot. It’s a meal enjoyed with hundreds, perhaps thousands, of like-minded folks dressed in school colors with maybe a few dribbles of barbecue sauce at the corners of their mouths (and nobody cares). ...read more

You Have Reached Your Destination

What comes to mind when you hear the word “destination?” An exotic city? A tropical beach? An isolated mountain peak that overlooks valleys, rivers, and villages far below? We usually think of destinations as the “somewhere elses” that aren’t entirely familiar. Getting to them likely requires a bit of travel.
