Hey, Hive! Another wellness check on how we’re all doing with the market bleeding. I hope everyone is able to roll with the punches. I’ve been trying to stretch out the relaxation I experienced with @ghostfist at the North Shore this weekend, but between the market correction, @guthrie’s school orientation and a tornado that cut through Minneapolis tonight, I’m feeling the stress of every day life set in harder than I’d like. I thought it’d be a nice therapeutic exercise to collect some of the tranquil videos from the trip. Moments for the cabin that captured the nature
around us.
In my last blog post, I shared some photos of @ghostfist and I at Palisade Head. This wasn’t actually a planned part of our time up North. I had a quick lunch with @lovejoy and @roadscape and in my hurry to leave, forgot my contact solution and a tooth brush. With only the contacts in my eyes, I had to be careful with them. The following day, @ghostfish and I made a 45 minute drive to the nearest grocery story to buy those provisions and while there, we decided to make the 10 minute trip to the entrance to Palisade Head. I brought the Mavic Air 2 drone just in case, and it paid off.
This trip was a writer’s retreat; a do over after our disastrous attempt to the same cabin in December during a blizzard and subzero temperatures. Writing was most of what we did, but both of us had a short list of things we wanted to see and do while deep in the woods. For @ghostfish, I think it was mostly nature. For me, I wanted to ride my EUC through back trails. I didn’t think that was going to happen, but during our last day there, I did manage to unload the S20 from the Tesla frunk and rip through some trails. @ghostfish tried to capture me hitting a sweet jump, but I crashed, which was hilarious.
The secret to the success of this retreat was the timing. I think during the summer, the heat and bugs would have been unbearable [...we already learned how bad things could get during the harsh winter]. This was the sweet spot at the end of winter and just the beginning of spring. That window is getting smaller and smaller these days, but we managed to spend plenty of time outside […even in the dead of night, as you’ll see in the VLOG]. We saw beavers, ducks, deer and even trumpet swans! Reviewing the photos and videos, this was one of, if not the best trips of my life. Thanks for reading and for following.
