Storms were trying to push in during our trail ride at Buffalo Springs, Pennsylvania near Codorus State Park.
While out visiting my boyfriend’s family this 4th of July, we decided we wanted to go horseback riding. A quick online search lead us to Buffalo Springs Horse Farm. They offer trail rides on their property as well as at nearby Cordorus State Park. We went for a ride on their property and it was great! Parts of the property are rolling open fields and other areas are heavily wooded. (more…)

Kelley’s Island, Ohio on Lake Erie. View towards Port Clinton.

The preferred modes of transportation on the island are bicycle or golf cart. There are restaurants, bars, shops, and mini golf all within walking distance of the boat docks (the only way to get to the island is with your own boat or hitching a ride on the ferry). (more…)

Consequently, there is a lot of geothermal activity close to the earth’s surface that can be enjoyed in the form of hot pools, springs, and geysers. (more…)

My boyfriend is preparing to embark on a 16 day photography excursion to Iceland, so I thought I would use his trip as my latest muse…and since today is Derby day, might as well start with Icelandic horses. While he won’t be testing out this adventure on this trip, its something we’ll likely take advantage of on another trip. (more…)
