Personal Experience: Nolan Trail Walks

11/30/2016

Like I said in a past blogpost, I steer clear of the outdoors as much as possible, but last year I really found spiritual peace in walking the Nolan Trail a few times a week. Last year I was going through a lot of personal issues, and once I found out about the Nolan Trail, I used it as an outlet all the time. I would take my dog with me so she can exercise, but it was nice to have a companion with me (like the women that took her dog on the Appalachian Trail that we learned about). I would only walk about 4 miles a day on the trail, 2 miles in and two miles back to my car, but it was always something I looked forward to. There were always turtles under the bridges and the most beautiful sunsets reflecting on the water, I felt a spiritual connection with nature, which is something I have never felt before. The only thing I dislike about the Nolan Trail is the face that I always trip on roots and twist my ankle, but its a chance I'm willing to take. I hope as a grow up and live in different places, I can find places like the Nolan Trail that better my life.
