Another great camping ⛺️ trip to the woods. This time we went to Calhoun Falls State Park. Lots of things to do around the area. . We stay at the primitive campsite with Owen’s CubScouts troop and had a lot of fun. No electricity at the primitive site. Bathrooms at walking distance and water on the campsite. With the full moon and cold weather, I didn’t miss electricity, otherwise this would be too primitive for me. . On Saturday we took a drive to Diamond Hill Mine in Abbeville, only 20 minutes away. All the boys had a blast getting muddy while digging for gems 💎 Mostly Quartz, Amethyst and Aquamarine (Pictures to come later, they are soaking at the moment). Well worth it the trip. . We saw a lot of deer 🦌 on site, heard the coyotes hauling in the middle of the night and an owl 🦉 made some beautiful sounds. . Boys kept busy running around and exploring the campsite and fishing. It was the perfect short camping trip. 3 hours away from Fort Mill, SC. . #hiking #walkingtrails #naturewalks #naturetrails #naturetrail #lovewhereyoulive #outdooractivities #naturelover #naturephotography #natureseekers #seekingadventure #adventuretime #outdoors #wild #explore #places #camping #primitivecamping #calhounfalls #tentcamping #makingmemories (at Calhoun Falls State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3OIDYvziG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Embracing the Himalayan Wilderness: Kopra Ridge Trek"

Set inland in Nepal's stunning Annapurna region is a little-known jewel called Kopra Ridge. Adventurers get a rare chance to experience breathtaking scenery, local culture, and the quiet of the Himalayas on this lesser-known trek.

The trail meanders through rhododendron forests, alive with vibrant colors during the spring season, and encounters with native wildlife are not uncommon.

One of the highlights of the Kopra Ridge Trek is reaching the ridge itself, where trekkers are rewarded with panoramic views of some of the world's highest mountains, including Dhaulagiri and Annapurna South. The sight of the sun rising over the Himalayas is a truly unforgettable experience, painting the sky in hues of pink and gold.

Throughout the journey, trekkers have the opportunity to stay in traditional teahouses, where they can enjoy hearty meals and cozy accommodations. These teahouses serve as a gathering place for travelers from around the world, fostering camaraderie and friendship amidst the beauty of the mountains.
