Nooks and crannies abound

Kevin and I went for another hike on our trails today. This time we followed the trail that hugs the river and leads up to the pasture... eventually. The same trail I started to blaze within the first few weeks of arriving in Costa Rica. Oh, and the same trail where my nice, clean new hiking boots got all muddy (I got my boots muddy today, too... oh well, they're no longer clean and new). This time we kept walking, deeper into the thick brush - Kevin in front swinging the sharpened machete with me following at a safe distance behind. Discovering all the nooks and crannies on our property never ceases to amaze me. We saw some animal tracks as well... some looked like they were from the danta (tapir) and others looked like they might have been made by cows and wild hogs. It's hard to tell, we're no experts. The river is quite low this time of year and we found really special places where we could just sit and soak up the peace and serenity. Some of these places would be perfect for a painter, a photographer or perhaps a writer. It's where I imagine Henry David Thoreau might feel comfortable settling in for a few hours, putting pen to paper. In one particular spot, there is a natural dipping pool. I hear cold water therapy is very healthy... and this water is so clean you can drink it straight out of the river... if I weren't such a wimp, I might consider jumping right in... but I am a wimp, therefore, that's not going to happen any time soon. The trail had its moments of difficulty, where we were teetering on narrow ledges: not for the faint of heart - thank goodness for my walking stick. We have a variety of trail levels, something for everyone, but this one needs a certain amount of fortitude... but the reward so worthwhile.... the ultimate in forest bathing!

    Dave and Krista are a couple from the Pacific Northwest that led overwhelmingly busy lives. 
    As her son Hayden was graduating high school, and daughter Korynn wrapping up college, they realized it was time to slow down. Life was going far too fast . They wanted to take the time to enjoy stress free living with their eight year old son Quinn.
    Having visited Hush Valley Lodge as guests in January of 2016, they decided this would be the exact change they needed.
    In the pursuit of happiness, they partnered with Jo, Peter, Molly, Gary and Dan to make this dream a reality, and are currently the stewards of the magic that is Hush Valley Lodge.
