Background

I haven't done a lot of hiking but last year (2018) I did couple of trips to Shawnee National Forest. I ended up taking an afternoon on the week and head to a place called One Horse Gap Lake. My first time out I made it but ended up wearing the wrong shoes and got terrible blisters on my feet. The next day I tried to hike out but I got lost and my feet killed me, so I ended up getting a ride out.

My second time, I planned it out better. I had better shoes. I had more water but I ended up picking the wrong weekend to go. The weekend ended up being a really hot weekend in October. When I made it to the camp site I was wore out by the heat and called for a ride the next morning.

Thoughts

Even though I didn't finish the trip without outside help, I still enjoyed it. I enjoyed being out there in the woods by myself. What I felt out there was just me and nature without the stress of the real world. I didn't have to worry about things that was not about life endangerment stress. The only time limit I had was the time the day turn to dark.

With the new year, I will try to go out hiking a little bit more. It may not be always an overnight, but I will try to get out more and enjoy the nature of it all. I felt nice out there in the woods just me and the items in my pack on my back. Just a tiny stream of thoughts for this one no planning on this post.

What is going on?

Evansville has lost a couple of artist hangouts this year. One was the wired and the other was PG. Though Wired still livers as The Hub, but there is no new PG at the moment.

Who does this effect?

It effects the local artist of Evansville. They lost a couple of places to show their art and music to the community. It also effects the people that are looking for that local art community and enjoy it.

Why does this matter to me?

It matters to me that I might miss out on the local music in Evansville. My first dive into the local music of Evansville was at PG at event called Little Sound Assembly. I went to the first one they held in 2014 shortly after I came back from China. Then I went to everyone except for one. I missed out for some reason.

My first time going to Wired was to see my friend Kaanvas. It was Kaanvas first time back into the music scene after a hiatus.

I went to many different shows and events at each place. Seeing different acts like Paper Sweaters, North by North, and many more. I had a great time. It allowed me to get out more and change to meet people.

Went to an art show that PG held and it was for a digital art. I didn't end up buying anything but it was fun looking at the art.

These was some great places, and they are going to be missed.

What now?

I don't know. Maybe someone will pick up after what they left or the art scene will die out.

I'm switching over to the hugo blog engine so that I can have a working rss feed instead of my hacky version.

So welcome.
