June 26th **** ” Summer heat is proof that Mother Nature is menopausal.” Maxine **** It’s 7:30am and already in the upper 70s. We have parked on the side of Deer Park rd across from the overflow parking area since the Nature Center’s lot only opens at 9. Here the car is in the shade […]

June 24th **** “The soul that sees beauty often times walks alone.” **** To tell you guys the truth, for some reason I always forget about this park. Even though I spend a lot of time around Hunt Valley. It is so convenient and amazingly spacious – over 1000 acres – within 15 minutes of […]

(June 20 2019) “Go where you most feel alive.” Today’s “adventure” is starting from the Sparks road parking lot. We are here early, thanks to the heat and humidity index for later. Both of us rather take the 60s. Nice shady spot in front, since only 4 cars are present. Good to be an early […]

“I could never resist the call of the trail.” Buffalo Bill Starting at this point on NCR requires us to come early. This small lot fills up fast. It’s 7:30 which I consider late….even though it takes us a 30 minute drive to get here. Only a few cars present and no one on the […]

“Sometimes, the shortest path between two points is serpentine.” Christopher Benfey Got up early today as usual. Thanks to Mag. Got to the visitor center at 8, even though this environmental area only opens at 9am. Since the gate was open we took liberty to drive up the road and park Yoda in our usual […]

“It’s all about convenience. You have remote access to everything.” Kevin Marquess Convenience = location close to home won out today. We have parked at the main parking area again on Eagle dr. There is a little path from here on the left side of the tennis courts. But we are not going to use […]

NCR trail – Paper Mill rd to Phoenix rd Love the sight of an almost empty parking lot on a Sunday morning. Thanks to the dreary weather today, people stayed in bed I guess. This is sort of the beginning of NCR. The main parking lot is on the left side on Paper Mill rd. […]

(North Central Railroad trail AKA Torrey C. Brown Rail trail) This is the first of several NCR walks we’ll do and one of my favorites. About a 20 minute drive on I83 north from Hunt Valley. Far enough from the city that most people don’t bother coming up this far. Parking area is on Freeland […]

“Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.” I was telling Mag that I will sleep in. His dad let him out at 5 in the morning so in my opinion there was no reason for waking me up at 7am. He did anyway…. This morning we’ll check out Lake Roland Park […]

It’s Friday! Time to go make stories for Monday. Unfortunately that’s all we gonna accomplish today thanks for the packed schedule. We only did a super short walk and forgot to record it….this morning was a mess! But here is a short video of Mag enjoying high grass. TTT = Ta-ta ’till tomorrow! Have fun […]
