Last night the skies absolutely lost their mind — thunder booming, rain hammering down, on again, off again, as if Mother Nature couldn’t decide what mood she was in.

The sun finally decided to make an appearance today, so I took that as my cue to head off to Dim Cave. I’ve seen a lot of caves in my travels, but honestly—this one might just take the crown. Legend has it the cave was discovered by a goat herder out for a wander one

After four long days of rain, it was easy to forget just how beautiful the view from my apartment can be. Then last night’s sunset arrived, glowing
For the past four days, rain has fallen with impressive commitment. The dogs and I reached peak cabin fever somewhere between day two and the third damp sigh.
