NATURE TRAIL HIKE | HUNTSVILLE AL | S1E6
✅SEASON 1 EPISODE 6:
Our #Journey takes us to Madison County Nature Trail in Huntsville, AL. We've been here for two months and haven't explored too much so we went on a nature trail hike! Despite Huntsville being urban, right outside is the Old Town District and just south of that is Green Mountain. Sitting atop of that is the Madison County Nature Trail, or to the locals, Green Mountain Nature Trail.
It's a cost-free 1.5 mile trail that should be taken at a leisurely pace(we did ours in about 3 hours.) There's so much to take in in such a small area. The wildlife is very present compared to the few other places we hiked. We ran across snakes, ticks, butterflies, turtles and heard people saw deer that day. Fun fact: this is the only Braille trail in all of Alabama!
????We quit our jobs so we could experience the world more and #LIVETRAVELHAPPY.

LandTrust announce preservation of 122 acres on Green Mountain
March 18, 2016
Donated by long-time Land Trust supporters,
the parcel contains one of the most pristine and naturally protected mountain coves in Madison County.
The property features two primary streams and two waterfalls that ultimately contribute to the Tennessee River. It also preserves well-known Alum Cave.
The future trailhead off South Shawdee Road will welcome visitors
to a place where history and the natural environment are woven together.
The trail will wind through hardwood forest and pine glades.
Visitors will hear birdsong accenting the breezes sweeping up the hollow.
You may also see Eastern Tiger Swallowtails chasing through the trees
and hawks circling above the valley.
Thanks to the insight and generosity of our donors,
the uniqueness and beauty of Alum Hollow will be protected for people to appreciate and enjoy forever,
said Executive Director Marie Bostick.
The Land Trust has a vision and strategy to protect, promote, and preserve the great natural lands of North Alabama,
she continued. These beautiful acres are important pieces in our ongoing conservation work.
Monsoon on Monte Sano Mountain, Fagan Creek, Huntsville AL
8 inches of rain in 7 days transformed Fagan Creek into something spectacular. Enjoy a rare treat as we follow the swollen stream from the bottom of Monte Sano Mountain to where even the trails don't dare go. Just a mile (as the crow flies) from Huntsville city center, yet oceans away. Thank you North Alabama Land Trust!

Better Qualified has developed a proven credit management program that will help you manage your credit and save money. The Better Qualified credit management process guarantees the best results. Companies usually have two distinct approaches to Financial services type of business. One approach would be a bank which simply buys an insurance company or an investment bank, keeps the original brands of the acquired firm, and adds the acquisition to its holding company simply to diversify its earnings. Outside the U.S. (e.g., in Japan), non-financial services companies are permitted within the holding company. In this scenario, each company still looks independent, and has its own customers, etc. In the other style, a bank would simply create its own brokerage division or insurance division and attempt to sell those products to its own existing customers, with incentives for combining all things with one company. Installment credit is used for a specific purpose, for a defined amount and for a specific period. Payments are usually the same amount each month. Examples of purchases made on installment credit include large appliances, automobiles and furniture. These kinds of loans usually offer lower interest rates than revolving credit. For example, a car company holds a lien on the car until the car loan is repaid. The total amount of the principal and interest is repaid within a predefined period. If the customer defaults on the loan payments, the company can repossess the car and charge penalties. Better Qualified has developed a proven credit management program that will help you manage your credit and save money.

Hiking McKay Hollow Trail, Monte Sano State Park, Alabama
The McKay Hollow Trail is a 4 mile out and back trail located in Monte Sano State Park, near Huntsville, Alabama (we combined McKay Hollow with the South Plateau Loop Trail on this day to make a 4 mile loop hike instead).
We had a beautiful day with the temperatures not too hot for summer in Alabama and the humidity relatively low for this time of year. This trail features a small waterfall (only a trickle on this day due to dry weather) and a steep descent into a deep and refreshingly cool valley; or hollow as they say around here. During the summer season, the views are few and filtered, but the forest is beautiful and green. There is no reliable water along this trail, so make sure to bring plenty along.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
