Early Morning Hiking and Fishing

One of the best ways to wake up in the morning is to go hiking. While it is cold and the last thing you may want to do is to head out into the woods. Let me say it is also one of the quietest times where few other hikers are out. By the time you really get moving the sun will be peaking through the trees.

Animals and wildlife are just waking up from their night slumber. They are out searching for food and finding mates. You can still smell the wet grass and freshness as you make your way down the trail. Off in the distance white tail deer are fleeing your approach.

Because hiking doesn't always get you enough exercise it can be helpful to enhance your hiking workout by either using a backpack with some weights or doing high knees as you walk. It may look a little silly but you will get your heart pumping without limiting the enjoyment of nature.

Once finished with my hike I decided to catch breakfast (I didn't...the little thieves stole my worms). I stopped by a local pier and threw in my fishing pole as I checked email and read a little on the Philosophy Magazine. There are few things better in life than a sunny day, fishing pole, and contemplating the greater nature of things. 🙈🙉🙊
