Content Plans for Cumberland Gal
I am always thinking of ways to improve this blog. I got to reviewing some old photos and realized how many hikes I've done that are NOT on my blog because the happened way before I started writing it. Here are some things I plan to try to accomplish that will make it even better.
- Do some repeat hikes to places that have been way too long between visits
- Look hard into NEW places to visit for brand new content.
- Look back over directions I've written that should be shared and put them on here.
- Try to remember to add directions whenever possible.
- I need to figure out how to get back to adding trip report links to videos on YouTube. That proved helpful to myself as well as others.
- Visit some more country stores for that blog series
- Visit some more areas that pertain to the Valley So Wild series.
- I want to revisit Yellow Doors Overlook and get more photos and video since I lost mine. I will also update folks on the road conditions.
- I want to visit the Kentucky side of Pickett State Forest and try to find an acceptable access from that side to share with readers. For the four wheeling crowd it isn't enough to find a way. It needs to be a way that is truly accessible without getting in trouble that has a decent place to park also.
Hearing from Readers of My Blog
I get emails or text messages from readers now and then. I always enjoy hearing from them. I've made some good friends. I've gotten ideas that have greatly improved Cumberland Gal. I am happy to help with directions to places. I answer all emails. You never know what we could come up with together! I welcome suggestions, corrections, and do my best to be helpful. I am not certain what is happening, but readership has been way, way up lately! Thanks to all who check out my blog writings.I am delighted and hope it proves useful in planning and executing fun travels for you.
