Episode 2: A Shared Weekend in Nature

My significant other has joined a Meetup community that hikes, camps, bikes, and kayaks together.

It's the first time in our relationship that he's out there doing something on his own, which is a fabulous development, and now we're inviting people into our home, and I've become a willing hostess to this community of adventurous souls.

The first warm weekend in 2014, a bunch of people from this Meetup group joined us, camping in our yard for a weekend of outdoor fun in the Catskill Mountains. Many of the people we were meeting for the first time, some had joined us before. It was a fabulous experience for everyone involved!



All meals were pot luck, and as we had people with different food needs, in general the food was vegan and very delicious! There was meat for non-vegetarians, in the form of venison stew & BBQ pork loin.

There's nothing quite as healing, refreshing, inspiring, and healthy as spending a bunch of time in nature.
