Don&#8217;t ask me why, its just the way it is. Whatever you call them, they are full which is unheard of this late in the summer. Want to know something else? (I am going to tell you anyway, so say yes, okay) I didn&#8217;t activate our lawn sprinkler system until this past weekend. It has rained so much we have not watered our yard once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2gtpDdS\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48224202246_fa650d8ea9_c.jpg\" alt=\"Turkey Mountain Pond Topaz 02\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The ponds are overflowing and the vegetation is lush. I was soaking in DEET so I didn&#8217;t get any tick or chigger hitchhikers thank goodness but I was kind of dumb and didn&#8217;t take any water which was a mistake even in just a three mile hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2gtpYKs\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48224267936_f59107ee9c_c.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN9689\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It always lifts my spirits being out in nature. I didn&#8217;t really see anybody else. I love getting back home after my outings and checking instagram for Turkey Mountain. There were at least 25 other people claiming they were all by themselves. It is a testament on how big the area is that we can all be there and not get in each others way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a place you can go to get away from it all?
