http://www.youtube.com/watch Hi there! I’m still in the process of pulling all of my platforms together in a pretty little integrated package but for now please check out my short intro video on my YouTube channel. Thanks! @AdventourGirl
Ponyhenge – the rocking horse graveyard
Dubbed Ponyhenge, and also called the rocking horse graveyard is a fun little piece of New England weirdness in Lincoln, MA. On a tiny country road, driving past houses behind fieldstone fences and open fields and farmland you can do a double take. “Was that what I think it was? A circle of old rocking…
Adventouring at a real New England Curiosity – America’s Stonehenge
(Originally written 10/19) This time of year Salem Massachusetts is in the regional news every day. I’m sure it even gets mentioned nationally as it gets closer to Halloween. Funny how this place became ground zero for Halloween. Salem celebrates the history of a horrible, tragic mistake perpetrated against 19 innocent citizens by a population…
DIY Wood Stove for Hot Tent Camping
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyScj8WNRYI&feature=share My latest tinkering project. I’m so interested in trying out winter camping this year. I can’t decide if I will sleep in my hammock or a hot tent. I want to try both. Just before our first snowstorm of the season I put up a rough lean-to in the woods behind my backyard. Then…
Adventouring in my own backyard – First Snow
At the end of the summer I went on a backpacking trip and blew out my knee. I’ve already had one replaced and now I’m trying to stave off the inevitable round 2. I’m looking forward to the new knee but I dread the recovery period. It was almost 2 years before I felt like…
Adventouring on the Zealand Trail, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire
In August of 2001, before the world changed forever on 9/11, I hiked the Zealand Trail in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, up to the AMC hut and Zealand Falls. I have distinct and fond memories from the hike. It was a day hike, in and out, under 6 miles roundtrip. I remember reaching…
Adventouring on Tuxbury Pond
The other day I felt like going for a paddle. At the same time I was feeling flattened by oppressive humidity. Instead of hitching my kayak trailer up to my car I chose to throw my little red Perception Swifty into the suv. At 9.5′ it’s small enough to fit with the rear gate fully…
Adventouring in Livermore New Hampshire
A year ago, I visited the abandoned remains of an old logging and railroad town in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. During the later half of the 19th century lumber barons, many of whom were from out of state, invaded the virgin forests of New Hampshire and Maine. They staked claims, set up camps,…
Use it or Lose It
It may have been a while since my last post but trust me, I have had some adventures. My personal philosophy has always been ‘use it or lose it’. I may move slower, and perhaps not go as far but I keep going. A year ago I was writing about exploring abandoned theme parks, …
New Adventures of Old Lorie
There was a television show a few years back called the New Adventures of Old Christine starring Julia Louis Dreyfus. I didn’t watch the show but I get the premise. I haven’t been replaced by a younger model but I am out there having new adventures and getting older everyday. More and more older Americans…
