Discover more local adventure

Know what I love?

Morels.

Know why I hate them?

They have a short, evil season and I keep telling myself that I should learn how to do this local mushroom hunting thing.

Only I don’t want to die from mushroom poisoning (big CON in that pro/con list).

I found out I can join the local mushroom society on a family membership for $15 and this allows for mushroom forays (I’m already learning the lingo), lectures and newsletters. The morels are mentioned often.

They’re cute – I get to mail them my info. With a letter and stamp and everything.

Longer than I’ve ever lived anywhere else.

And yet, if you ask me where to go and what to do, I’ll probably rattle off about a dozen places and that’s about it. It’s not that I’m a complete shut-in that doesn’t go anywhere, but I do have my routines, you know? I have links to a ton of things that are great ideas, notes on things I’d love to try, but then there are the things I know and always gravitate towards.

Well, this year, I’m going to make an effort to get out and about in my town and have a few new adventures. I’m going to get to those things I’ve meant to try and I’m going to even find a few things I might not have meant to try either.

Go me!
