I love to explore new trails. There is something magical about discovering what is around the next corner, or over the next hill. My family has labeled me the sandbagger because I always tend to extend the ride or hike further than originally advertised. If I say a mountain bike ride will be 5 miles, my wife and boys will look at each other with a knowing glances and say 10 at least. There is always something to be discovered. Just this morning while walking the dog I came across a fawn lying down under a tree. The mama was near by and gave us a warning glace. We headed off trail a bit to give them plenty of room and discovered a new trail that we had not yet explored. Our 2 mile morning walk quickly turned into a 5 mile hike. We explored a section of the Deschuetes river that I had not hiked along before.
I find myself in constant wonder of God's creation. There is such diversity and attention to detail. I believe that God planted the love of adventure into my very soul, and have found him to be the best guide. He has taken me places that I never dreamed I would go and mapped out
adventures far better than those I could plan on my own. I encourage you to seek God in your
adventures and search out the path that he has marked for you.
Psalm 16:11
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with
joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
