Zachary Tibble 11/02/2016 7:26 PMI vowed to commit multiple goals for the EcoChallenge 2016 and can honestly say I achieved each one with not too much difficulty.
I walked to campus for my classes so the daily walking and transportation goals were not too difficult for me to meet but I was curious as to how I would meet the goal for exploring a new nature trail/walk.
I decided the easiest way to do this was to go with my friends to Grandad's Bluff in La Crosse WI and then deviate from my friends to find a path down the bluffs I had previously never explored. About halfway through the drive up the Bluffs I had my friends pull off and drop me off and I was on my way down the trails.
Having seen the Bluffs from high up it was different to see them and La Crosse from a lower perspective.
Between the walking every day and the adventure up the Bluffs I think I gained a better understanding of not only what nature is, but more importantly, I discovered how easy it can be to appreciate the environment and take steps(literally) to preserve it.
