24 hour idea revised: Nature walk

Ok, mixing it up people. I changed my idea to something that suits my lifestyle more. I am going to try to walk, map, and collect ephemera from a state park near my house, but I'm going to try to walk farther than I've ever walked in that park. Which means I'll have to walk for at least four hours in the park. I will connect this walk to the rest of my routine so I have a larger opportunity to collect ephemera before and after the walk as well.

My rules:
- Start my journey at noon (I was going to try sunrise but I sleep in. . .). This signifies that my nature walk will be connected to the cycle of the day and the source of nature itself.
- Count every place I go as an opportunity to collect ephemera.
- Stop walking/return home when: I feel dehydrated, my legs are too sore to go very much farther, or it gets dark. Sunset is at 5:47 pm today. (Whatever comes first.)
- Map out my walk.
- Don't be disappointed if I don't get very far, the whole day is an experience not just the main walk itself.

This is an opportunity to analyze my day and notice little things that maybe I don't normally notice.
