Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls....

Quick update for you - there are no waterfalls in the Southeast Wisconsin area!  The closest would be those in the Green Bay area which is around 2 hours drive.  And most of these are rapids and not waterfalls.   So I need to find a different hiking goal for 2013.  Any suggestions?



I'm considering the Walk the Wauk program as an alternative.   This program is by the Ice Age Trail's Milwaukee/Waukesha Chapter.   I think that may be a good group for me to get acquainted with.  I've added their New Year's day hike at Laphem Peak on to my personal calendar.  That sounds like a nice way to start the new year.

Ramblings

I need some motivation and possibly a kick in the ass.

I have a lot I want to get done before the holidays - mainly before the family arrives and stays with me.  And I think my perfectionism gets my way of getting things done.   Now to be clear, I am not a perfectionist in the normal definition of the word.  Perfectionism applies to me in a much narrower focus - it's my efficiency that sometimes gets caught up in the perfect / most efficient way to do things that slow me down.  The actual quality of the work does not get impacted by perfectionism.

I need to start working and making some progress - easier to say/blog than to actually do ....especially when work / life / dog / etc get in the way.
