🍁 From Southwest Missouri to Salem: Packing for Fall’s Witchy Wonderland If you’re heading from Southwest Missouri to Salem, Massachusetts around Halloween, you’re in for a treat — and a temperature shock.

Let’s just put a disclaimer out here because… I know most people’s feelings about get together this year. They aren’t popular. I would also like to state that most of the people that were here have had Covid. No, we didn’t give it to each other… all at different times… so during this event, we…
It’s taken a while to convince myself it is okay to say that. Why? There is a certain stigma around it… It feels like I am the plague. Not that I have it… but that I am it. People want to avoid me… Ooo you didn’t follow the “rules.” Oooo you’re dirty. You aren’t clean….

This past weekend we had our annual Trails for Kids fundraising ride. We had to postpone it a little bit… because we all know there’s this Pandemic thing going on.

This weekend was special. It is our annual Trails for Kids fundraiser. If you have been here anytime at all… you know that usually, we have this ride in April. Also… this year has been “interesting” (to say the least!) so we had to postpone until this past weekend. All summer long we wondered if…
