Hello good morning!
Third Coast Hikes was started as a half-baked idea, about all the places I like to visit outdoors in the upper Midwest. It was always intended to be a place for me to organize my thoughts, write about the places I go, and post the photos I take. It’s done a pretty good job of that, but Third Coast Hikes could be more, and it doesn’t need me to be at the center of it.
Starting in 2021, Third Coast Hikes will post more actively. I want to post something new at least every other week. That might be my own musings from whatever I see going on outside my window, or calling attention to the amazing work someone else is doing. I consider the Third Coast to extend by and large across all the Great Lakes region (I’m even willing to let Lake Nipigon in), but I will focus primarily on Chicago because that’s where I live.
Watch this space every other Wednesday throughout 2021. I made a calendar about it, so now if I don’t follow through I get to live with the same of disappointing my calendar, which tbh might be enough.
If you or someone you know is doing something amazing outdoors in the Great Lakes region, drop me a line. You can also find me on Instagram @ThirdCoastHikes, or ping me on Twitter at @WritingWelbers. I want to hear about the cool stuff that’s going on around the coast.
