Have you gone outside this weekend? If so, do you have any cool pictures, or stories, or just want to tell us about your hike or backpacking or whatever? Then please do!

My own contribution here is a mysterious shrine I found off the Prairie Path in Illinois. It’s actually the second object in the “mysterious shrines” category I’ve found wandering trails here! Whether it’s actually a shrine is probably debatable, but I don’t care.

    • I may not be good at much, but I can walk all day every day. I can do back-to-back 20+ mile days with a pack for at least a week…haven’t pushed it any further than that. This would probably make some of the long trails very doable, except that I am IRL pretty antisocial…every time I read an account of someone’s adventures on the PCT or AT, I get all shuddery over the thought of being forced to interact with other people in groups every day.
