LOCAL ADVENTURES

Explore Brown County

2620 Valley Branch Rd, Nashville, IN 47448

Have you ever wanted to drop everything and travel the world? That's me on a regular basis, but travel is expensive and I have responsibilities that can't just be dropped. I've found that the anecdote to my wanderlust is seeking out local adventures. They're not always cheap, but they're extraordinarily more affordable than the price of a plane ticket and accommodations. Best of all, you won't even have to take time off from work to partake in any of these activities because they're perfectly suited for  a weekend day trip. Next time you're feeling adventurous but the timing is wrong, I recommend checking out Xplore Brown County.

ATV Tour

About two weeks ago, I booked the one hour ATV "Ridge Runner Tour" for just under $70. There was a small non-refundable deposit due at the time of booking, which was under $20. The remainder of the bill was due on the day of the reservation.

The location is breathtaking. You're basically surrounded by nature's beauty. I can only imagine how much more amazing it would be to visit once the leaves change colors this autumn. After absorbing the scenic view and handling payment, I was introduced to the tour guide. The tour guide made everything simple in terms of how to operate the vehicle and answered all of my ridiculous  questions. 

Once you get on the ATV and start to get the hang of it, it's exhilarating. The trail is full of inclines and declines, which makes the experience feel like an adventurous thrill. Visit eXplore Brown County to explore their other activities like zip lining, paint ball, and mountain biking. My experience with the ATV Tour was so great that I can't wait to visit for a 1.5-2 hour tour or even try another activity. 

Turbulent Paths

The timing of this day trip couldn't have been more perfect because I'm at a huge turning point in my life for the better. As I steered the ATV to navigate my way around puddles and rivets, it dawned on me that my life mirrors this experience. I had to struggle my way through the uneven surfaces to understand how to go about avoiding them. The more I utilized the advice given by the tour guide, the more I began to operate the vehicle with ease. I know I have to learn to grow, but the unpopular truth is that I also have to fail to grow. This ATV tour reminded me that my lows have added just as much value, or even more value to my life, as my highs.  Please never forget that the imperfection in your journey can also be your greatest lesson. Where you've fallen short can one day become your strength. I have grown confident that my guide in life is never steering me wrong no matter how rough the path may appear. I encourage you to align your path with a source that's unwavering, unchanging, and unconditional. 

Until the next adventure, beYOUtiful, keep life sweet, and never stop feeding your soul. -xo
