Wild Roamer Wisdom – Just Be. Hiking Allegheny State Park- Osgood Trail

Wild Roamer Wisdom – Just Be. Hiking Allegheny State Park- Osgood Trail

Today is an adventure from Wild Roamer- Shelly Wells! 

 

  • Just Be ready for adventure. In late February, you never know what conditions you might encounter. Be prepared for roaming with snowshoes, micro spikes/yaks, hats, gloves/mittens, a backpack with water, honey sticks/snacks, and tissues. Being ready and prepared means that adventure won’t pass you by, and adventure won’t get the better of you.

  • Just Be ready to observe. Listen to the sound of snow scrunch on a 50-degree winter day in the woods; listen for the chirping of the birds, happy for the warmth of the sun; listen to the sound of running water in a bubbling stream; listen to the sounds of silence. Appreciate the colors found in late winter – the blue of the sky and the green of the plants that endure the snow.

  • Just Be grateful for fellow adventurers…ready and excited to take on the day.

 

  • Just Be able to recharge; know what brings you peace. A very good friend told me to get energy from the earth. When you come across rocks and boulders, take time to touch them; allow the energy to permeate you.

  • Just Be able to have fun! When you come across an interesting space, check it out! Be inquisitive and find joy in the simplicity and complexity of nature.

  • Just Be able to surrender to the beauty and peace you can find in nature…Just Be.

  • (P.S.  One more trail checked off my WNY Winter Hiking Challenge list! Allegheny State Park – Osgood Trail.)
