Good morning! In March, I had set out to be on a trail somewhere on the Appalachian Trail for my birthday month of July. That plan did not materialize! . And here’s why. I was focused on looking for a different place to live because my landlord had only been offering a 12–month lease. Since I moved to Dayton, Ohio to care for my 96-year old mother and will not likely stay here once she passes, committing to an entire year feels extravagant. I focused my search on cheaper rentals that still had access to a place to walk in Nature. That’s what I like best about my current apartment.
