We can never have enough nature'
-Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods

This was my fourth time on the Ocoee and we went on the second half of the river. I felt very lucky this whole trip because I was with friends and we did a lot of other activities other than rafting and while you're rafting, it's a constant thing so you're always running off of adrenaline and the two hours go by really fast and once you're done you just want to turn around and do it again]]> 2018-03-27 19:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_pitman/f1r5wli7za0w/wish/246662029 andrea_pitman https://padlet.com/andrea_pitman/f1r5wli7za0w/wish/246668113 To me, the quote means that nature is explorable yet not at the same time. Certain things should be left to the imagination and shouldn't be touched. But there's also still so much to explore and learn about that we can never have enough. I agree, because rivers weren't meant to be rafted on, yet we do and we get really cool experiences and have a lot of fun but some parts of nature should just remain the way they are because we need them that way.]]> 2018-03-27 19:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_pitman/f1r5wli7za0w/wish/246668113
