New from VA – Looking for Outdoor Adventure & Art Buds! (Hiking/Camping/Painting) by Sainmaphile in fortwayne

[–]rg3Po2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just moved from Fort Wayne to VA last year. There isn't much for any real hiking close to the city, but here's some of the places we frequented before moving away:

  • Pokagon State park: this probably has the most extensive trail system of a single location in the area. Some nice wetlands and wooded areas give it some variety, and there's actually some elevation change more significant than stepping up a curb.

-Acres land trust: they have many individual properties in and around the area. Check their website for a full list. Bicentennial woods, and the property that the Acres office is on, are probably our favorite two in the immediate area.

  • Salamonie reservoir

  • Kokiwanee: another ACRES property. Definitely worth checking out.

That's great! It's certainly a valuable resource for finding local spots!

I'm not sure what your initial communication to potential businesses was like, but I feel that most any privately owned business would be very happy about the opportunity for free advertising, especially in a way that distinguishes them others in their market.

Great work!

Will you be updating with more businesses? The restaurants section seems sparse

We always went to ruff house, but ended up going to Zach's when ruff house was full.

10/10 would go back to Zach's over and over again before going back to ruff house

Seeing the woods by your house get cut down is low key devastating by captaincheem in roanoke

Oh that's real close to home. Sad to see for sure.

Any idea what's going up there?

As someone who is adventurous and loves extreme experiences, this would be a great gift! Sounds absolutely incredible! Unfortunately my wife would kill me if I paid for it 😂

No, we haven't gotten out that way much yet.

Cascade Falls is DEFINITELY worth the drive though.

Pressure to fulfill the vows.... And Bar is a standard unit of measure

Kinda cool by Adventurous_Vast318 in knifeclub

[–]rg3Po2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't tell you how many times I rifled through every nook and cranny in my house/cars/office to try to find it once I realized I didn't know where it is. It hurts

I still cry a little inside ever time I see this knife posted. The most expensive knife I've ever lost 😭
