The October Adventure Theme is “Nature Walk”
Our activity recommendation for October is going on a nature walk for this month’s installment of “Adventure Begins at Your Library.” You can do a quick Google search for nature trails, hiking trails, or walking trails in the area and find one that fits your interests and preferred travel range. You could also talk to your area farm or ranch owning friends and see if they have paths or trails they like to walk on their property. Or, if you’re snake and tick avoidant like many of us at the library, take a walk around town or community drive and really make a point of paying attention to the world around you – the trees, the birds and critters, the feel of the air, the warmth of the sun or the twinkle of the stars, anything that takes you out of your regular daily head chatter and gets you back in tune with the natural world. Or, if you prefer to keep it creepy, watch a scary movie like “Jeepers Creepers” or “Children of the Corn” and then head out on your walk. Nothing picks up the heart rate and adrenaline like the power of suggestion when you hear that rustle in the brush or something moving behind you!
