Home Lake
My maternity leave is officially over.
To mark the end of another chapter/the start of a new, I planned a short but sweet mother-daughter getaway. Our first multi-day adventure with just the two of us!
After a few wrenches in the plan I settled for a little road trip to a rented cabin on a lake and a nearby backcountry day hike.
We had beautiful Fall weather and despite my knee flaring up, I accomplished my challenging (for me) goal of the 6.4km (to the backcountry cabin), out-and-back trail.
12.8 km
362m elevation gain
4h 30min moving time
20+lbs on my back (Fern and the necessary provisions for the day + emergency/safety supplies)
Saw deer, wolf, bear and moose tracks on trail
Checked off Badge 10 @1000hoursoutside bringing us to 700+ hrs outside this year so far
October brings in me working part-time while kiddo is “in childcare”, and SAHM-ing part-time. Hopefully the ideal mix for my continued mental health recovery out of PPD. Let’s gooooooooo.
