Melanin on the Move!

Awhile back, I had joined a Facebook group called Melanin on the Move and last weekend was the first time I was able to join them. They do hikes and activities mainly around Colorado Springs and of course, everyone has at least a little bit of melanin. Sadly, many Black and Brown people don't get outside much at all. I understand why we aren't seen on the white slopes (because of the expense) but just hiking for whatever reason, it's really hard to find others who look like me who want to enjoy the great outdoors and move those sexy legs! lol

At any rate, I joined two women on a hike on Saturday at Garden of the Gods. I hadn't been there since I moved to Falcon in 2016. The Wulf's aren't hikers so all I did was take pictures from the car and walked around a little bit. This time, we trekked through Garden of the Gods and climbed to a peak overseeing much of the area. It was cloudy but gorgeous views! When we started hiking, it was a tad chilly and windy. Jimmie was supposed to come with me but because it was just the other two women, he decided to go home and picked me up later. Another time, I hope the both of us can join Melanin on the Move for another hike and/or activity. 

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know both of them and I am glad I went. They were both older than me, but conversation was easy with them. It was about a two-hour hike and by the time we were heading back to the car, the sun came out and it was around 45 degrees. When I got back home, I fell asleep for an hour!
