Thank you to those who have participated and supported the Which Ways Challenge. I appreciate y’all sharing your Which Ways with us.
For an idea of other’s Which Ways from this past week’s challenge, be sure to click on the following links below.
These were taken back in February of 2023 when Coleman and I convinced my daughter and granddaughter to Tag-along on one of our hiking adventures. For this hike, we chose to visit the Baxter Village Trail which begins near the Library in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Hiking along on the trail we encounter plenty of Brown and a bit of Black as well as some other colours.
The Baxter Village Trail is a part of the Carolina Thread Trail network of trails within North and South Carolina. It is also a part of a 9-mile network of trails within the Baxter Village Community. This particular trail is a 3.3-mile segment of the Thread Trail trail is moderately hilly and features several streams along its length.

The trail consisted of natural surfaces, boardwalks, and some pavement. The rating for the trail is moderate, but for Coleman and I it was rather easy. As you can see we wound through a forest of trees and through tunnel and for my grandchildren over the tunnel as well.

Most of these were taken in the afternoon, after the weather warmed up a bit, while Coleman and I were out hiking and enjoying nature. Right now as I write it is only 27° degrees outside. I’ve already been out in the freezing cold and gotten Coleman on the bus for school. I’m glad I’m inside now out of the freezing cold. Burr, I wish we didn’t have to go out in the freezing cold for him to get on a bus for school. Winter weather has arrived even it won’t be officially winter till the twenty-first.

This weekend was a rare time spending with my granddaughter, my grandson, and my daughter all on a hiking trail. My daughter does not have her daughter all the time and she does not usually like to go hiking like my grandson and I do. So, being able to be outdoors in nature with all three of them was a lovely experience full of joy.
My grandson loves to climb. It was fun to watch his half-sister follow his lead in climbing up on top of the tunnel. My daughter’s heart was beating so fast, their actions scared her. It is a normal occurrence for me to watch my grandson climb when we are out in nature. If something can be climbed, he’ll climb it.

Red Lettering Pump House Rock Hill, South Carolina
The PUMP HOUSE is a former industrial pump house located on the Catawba River. It now houses a multi-level dining room, complete with a rooftop bar and deck that’s open for dinner and on weekends. One can enjoy terrific views from the main dining room or from the year-round deck, both on the third level.

Red Leaf
Autumn leaves turn fiery-red in an attempt to store up as much goodness as possible from leaves and soil before a tree settles down for the winter.

The RED monkey bars are included in the playground equipment in Allison Park which we accessed from the Baxter Village Trailhead located in Fort Mill, South Carolina.
The weather this week has been cold and rainy, so this is a floral photo from mine and Coleman’s hike last week at Baxter Village Trailhead which is a part of the Carolina Thread Trail.

Our hike/walk today landed us in Baxter Village, a section in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Baxter Village has a trailhead across from the Fort Mill Library which is a part of the Carolina Thread Trail. The Carolina Thread Trail has trails throughout the Carolinas for everyone to enjoy the outdoors and get close to nature. This was our first time visiting this trail and we will probably visit it again. We, my grandson and I, only hiked a fraction of the trail today. The length of the trails run from Baxter Village down to the Catawba River. We hiked from the trailhead in Baxter Village to Allison Creek Park not wanting to overdue being out in the cold chilly weather.
