It's Time to
Get Outside gThrive!

ello, again, lovely readers. This edition is all about the great outdoors and nature, and I love it so much because it’s such an easy topic to talk about. Those of us who live here know how blessed we are to live in such a beautiful locale where outdoor recreation abounds yearround. When other savvy adventurers come to visit, they very quickly discover for themselves not only the beauty but the myriad of recreational opportunities! While many of us do sate our desire for recreation throughout the year, and though we have our favorite things to do recreationally, this year I would like to issue a challenge to all of us to try some new things. Let’s challenge ourselves to go new places, see new sights, and overall, to just expand our horizons concerning what our outdoor recreation and fitness can look like.

Lots of us hike, and it’s a beautiful way to spend a day in nature, but do you find that you spend a lot of time on the same trails? Challenge yourself this year to explore a few new ones! Do you ATV on your days off but feel like you know the Beaver Dam Wash like the back of your hand? Maybe take a ride in the opposite direction and explore a new, untraveled road for yourself! There are plenty of desert and mountain roads to explore that you’ve probably never even seen or heard of. So go grab a map, program the GPS, and get going! Some of us already enjoy golf as our outdoor recreation, but did you know that there are nearly 100 golf courses within an hour and a half drive of Mesquite? Maybe you could challenge yourself to make a day of it and choose one new course to play on during one of your golf days.
