When I can't make it to the sea, the sea comes to me in dreams. . I recently experienced my first outdoor-related injury in a while: I fell and badly injured my sacrum. This following a minor car accident just a couple days before. So, I've been laying low and feeling sad that I haven't been able to get outside (funny how your own advice about appreciating "small experiences" and the beauty outside your window fails when you have to follow it, eh?) . Last night my dreams were full of the ocean, and today I made an attempt to go to the beach. Success! - as long as I mostly sat in one place. 😊 But the tide was close to 10 feet, and the pounding surf soothed something deep inside me. . How do you manage when your usual enjoyable activities/coping strategies are taken away for a time? .

Disabled Hikers is in SELF magazine! Along with 14 other hikers, I wrote a blurb about one of my favorite fall hikes.

STICKERS!!! I ordered some 1.5" vinyl stickers. They're outdoor safe and would look great on your trekking poles, cane, or chair. Want one?

Hey #portland I'll be down for a visit later this week! Excited to spend a few days back in my urban-home. Which trails would you like to see written up for #disabledhikers ?

Very excited to share our first reader-submitted story! Andrea and Ryan recently camped at an accessible cabin at Blue Mound State Park in Wisconsin. . "Our experience was great. Everything went smooth and easy compared to our usual tent camping experience, which involves a lot more work and preparation. Sitting around the fire, talking or not, and just being in nature is one of my fondest memories of this trip. Over breakfast on Sunday morning, we chatted about how we could build an accessible “tiny house” or rustic cabin of our own and live in the woods. It is our collective dream to live in a cabin or a van, but you know how life goes. Maybe we will have to stay longer than a night to test it out." @msoutdoors42 .

I finally took some much needed down time that wasn't related to feeling crappy, and went out for a day of play. I started the day at the Hoh river, then circled Lake Quinault and stood enraptured by sunset at the lake. A final quick stop at Kalaloch, and then home. These beautiful lands are the ancestral territory of the Hoh and Quinault peoples. I hope all of you are finding moments of joy and inspiration, from wherever you are.
