🥾 Here’s me in action on the trail today. 🐒

🪵 This might be one of my favorite trails I’ve ever done! I’ll post more pics in another post. 🦌

🥾 Here’s a story about a hike I did today in the #Catskills.

⛰ It starts out like any other hike. I get to the overlook and can see many farms and mountains in the Schoharie Valley. 😻

🌧 Then all of a sudden, it starts pouring rain. I realize I am INSIDE a rain cloud. So I make my way down the mountain. It’s slippery AF and I’m trying to not totally bust ass.

💦 On the way down, I’m totally soaked. And right as I get to the end of the trail, the rain moves out and it’s sunny for the entire rest of the day.

Soooo that was my first time hiking in the rain this summer. I didn’t poke around too much at the overlook, but it was a great warmup for the other hikes I’ll do this weekend. ☺️

Here are pics from my chronicle. 📸

⚡️ Now & then. October 2006 --> July 2021. I was here. I was here. 💘 (And camera phones have gotten a LOT better, wow.)

💐 This is now a fan account for my sweet, beautiful dog. 😹 He actually does have his own Insta account (@fenwickcanine) if you want to follow. 😻

It’s been years since I’ve been in Oak Hill, or in New York for that matter. It hasn't been a full 24 hours being back yet, and it's been so easy and familiar to reconnect. 💐

Thank you to Chris and Mary Lou for having me. I'm so blessed and grateful. ✨💖

🧿 Random snaps from around Philly. I haven't be

🧿 Random snaps from around Philly. I haven't been here since May 2016 and being back was unexpectedly emotional.

🧿 Philly was my last trip before I left NYC for Dallas in June 2016. I was with my ex and was in a very particular headspace at the time.

🧿 Being here now has given me perspective on all that's happened since. It's been nice to walk with those memories and honor my past self while observing new memories as my future self. 😌

🧿 I feel like people so rarely get to do things like this, and it's been so nice to sit with these thoughts for a while. May all beings be happy. ✨

In no particular order: Fenwick at the Bellevue, Rittenhouse Square, yummy Indian food, ya boy, summer sunsets in the city. 🌇

✨ Potential captions:

“And how do you spell that?” 🧐
“It’s like everyone here already knows you!” 😳
“I’m wearing the blue shirt with my name on it in big capital letters… yes, I’m serious.” 😋
“Ever been there? Wanna go?” 😎
“Here to make friends, obvi” 👯‍♂️
Are there any others to consider?

No but for real, Harlan is a town and county in southeastern Kentucky. My grandmother would often talk about her time there and the only thing she brought to Mississippi was a big custom-built bed made of dark wood. She called it her “Kentucky bed.” 🛏 My Ancestry family tree shows my first US ancestors landed in Kentucky. 🧬 I’ve always been kind of fascinated with the place from afar.

I’d like to stop by and pay Harlan a visit at some point in my wanderings. Until then…

Or are there other alternatives I haven't thought of? 😜 Cheers and thanks @kimptoninphl @kimpton! 🍷
