They say every journey begins with a single step. I find this to be a very fitting metaphor for the maiden post of an outdoors blog. When preparing a journey into the great outdoors it’s always best to begin with a checklist, so naturally the best place to begin our lexical journey is with our own checklist of sorts.
One of the defining qualities of humanity is our need to explore- our compulsion to push forward into the unknown. This primal quest is so engrained into our being that it still beckons, even in a modern world with very few places left to explore.
Modern times may have taken us far from our early hominin ancestry, but
our curiosity and desire to explore are still there. Time constraints, schedules
and budgets govern our technology driven world, so now more than ever it is
important to take some time out, get out and get back to your roots.
The Memphis area is home to more natural surprises than most people
realize. For example, Shelby Farms is the one of the top 30 largest urban parks
in the world. In this blog, I would like to explore those surprises more in
depth, and hopefully help readers reconnect with their roots. And there is no
better place to find to roots than in a forest.
