I’ve learned to be pretty flexible during the pandemic, working around last minute cancelations, location closures and crowd avoidance. With all of that said, it is still pretty disheartening when you set your intentions to go somewhere as responsibly as possible only to have to change course because of over-crowding.
If anything good has come out of the COVID pandemic it’s how much people are exploring close to home and utilizing all of the green spaces that we normally take for granted.
We’ve been weathering the storm of the Coronavirus in the US for several months now, and throughout all of the uncertainty one of the things that have kept me going is taking a break and getting outside. In Minnesota, where I live, we have been extremely fortunate to have full access to the outdoors, even during the stay at home order.
Winters in Minnesota can be long, but that doesn’t mean we need to stay cooped up. In fact, I’ve come to love braving the outdoors in winter. The snow helps dampen the sound, the crowds are nearly non-existant and if you go far enough north, it can feel like you stepped right through the cupboard into Narnia.
If you ever find yourself driving through South Dakota, spending some time in the Black Hills National Forest is a must!
Custer State Park is just one of many inside the forest, and I recently spent a lovely weekend enjoying some quality time checking out all that it has to offer.
