"It's like the green, slightly smaller, Grand Canyon." - @c5yoder What a fantastic place to be spending our 11th anniversary and 7th Father's Day. @ New River Gorge National Park instagram.com/p/Ce-AH7wjB8d/…

@jkam12 And that whole community was so Southern focused that it felt a bit out of place. Which honestly would have probably made better content as it would have been something different, but that thinking only came in retrospect

@GreatLakesPrep Gotcha. Enjoyed your content and appreciate the South/ Midwest preppy back and forth

So this shot unfortunately turned out a touch out of focus (the troubles of shooting movement with a lens that lacks autofocus), but I love everything about it @ Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Bremen, GA instagram.com/p/Cb8_zYdAfkJ/…

@jkam12 Thank you. That's much appreciated! I think a part of it, too, was a shift in my aesthetic. I ditched a lot of the stuff that didn't make sense for me (why was I ever wearing so many "insert Southern brands" lol) and started embracing stuff that felt more Midwest.

@jkam12 Plus it got a bit boring just writing about a different product each day and I never quite figured out how I wanted to pivot it. Especially as I got a bit more picky with brands to cover, which made it seem repetitive to just repeat the same ones over and over

@GreatLakesPrep Are you still prep blogging?
