Visited Dinosaur State Park today!

I loved the trails and the museum was really cool.

It's a site in CT where 2000 dinosaur tracks were accidentally uncovered during excavation for a state building. Now home to a museum (with tracks intact) and lots of wooded trails!

Round Top Mountain, Mount Frissell, Brace Mountain, and Bear Mountain Loop Mount Washington State Forest, Connecticut and New York 7.60 miles 1,598 ft. Elevation Gain

Took a weekend trip up to Connecticut to hike the high point of the state, which comes to State High Point number 7 (NJ, PA, DE, MD, WV, NC and not CT) even though I'm holding up six fingers because I originally thought it was high point number 6 for me but I forgot Delaware is a state with a high point that I only pulled over to the side of the road to see, and I didn't realize until my drive home to Jersey. Mount Frissell is technically in Massachusetts, but the slope that goes into Connecticut is technically the highest point in the state. Bear mountain along the AT, which was the last peaked I summited in this 7 mile loop is Connecticut's highest summit, but not highest point. The route was AMAZING, especially Brace Mountain where you had a great view of the Catskills in the distance. The last leg of the loop after Bear Mountain though had me going down a trail off the AT where I didn't even think it was a trail, it was so overgrown! But it lead up to a AMC Cabin that was literally my dream tiny house. Another state high point down, 43 more to go!

Feelin’ myself ☀️ (#cute) and regaining the feeling in my fingers 🥶 at the top of Mt. Misery in Pachaug Forest, CT, *last* Saturday (2/18) w/ @friendsofpachaugforest… Chillin’ and warming up from all the movement. ✨💪🏻💥 I enjoyed hanging out on the stone for a break, haha. 🪨🌲 Most people don’t share this view, but I’m me. 😛🤣😁✨ I’d been depressed and not feeling well, but this day was healing for me. ✨🙏🏻🕊️✨ “I overcame myself, the sufferer; I carried my own ashes to the mountains; I invented a brighter flame for myself.” -Friedrich Nietzsche 📸🗝️ #friendsofpachaugforest #FOPF #FriendsofPachaug #Pachaug #pachaugstateforest #hike #winterhike #ct #newengland #ctwinter #outdoors #winterfun❄️ #intheforest🌲 #neitzsche (at Mount Misery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpImIGkuqp_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jikook and boats

We've established that JM loves the sea, and even more so he loves being there with JK.

As a whole we've seen Jikook on the beach or on boats together.

We know the two might have not planned the whole trip but they certainly were involved in the planning and came up with ideas for activities. So no wonder we get them on a boat in CT and we will be getting them on a boat in Jeju as well.

There is something to be said for that calm of the sea, more so when they have the opportunity to do so when it's just the two of them.

A sense of freedom.

From day to day life, expectations, pressures. Just being there in the middle of nowhere 'alone'.

Even with half a dozen cameras shoved in your face including cameramen behind those cameras.

And when I talk about day to day life, expectations and pressures I'm talking about all those as an idol. Because what we know as all of those are so different than what they do. These young men have been working since their teenage years, JK since he's been 14. They don't know another kind of life (they are experiencing a bit of that now in the military). And even now, years later, being famous - worldwide superstars, super rich, their lives are busy, their schedules chockablock, so much so that while on their solo journey found it hard to spend enough quality time together. And time is not everything. Pressures are not everything. It's also the expectations. Living their lives under that constant criticizing public eye. Not 'allowed' to basically have a private life, as in date, have a long term relationship, love another person, because they 'belong' to their fans.

Look at what's happening with Yoongi.

This latest development utterly disgusting. Ridiculous, and yet hurtful and disgusting.

Point being that is their reality. And getting away from that, to be in the middle of nowhere just the two of them just ocean and them is a dream for them.

So, they took the time.

For JM to catch up on his sleep, seeing that he didn't get much if any the night before only to go on a hike in the morning (no wonder he was taking it slow), JK just being there by his side.

For the two of them to just relax.

And with that sense of freedom, just letting go.

Oops, wrong movie reference...

JM climbing JK like a tree not new. Nor is them playing out Titanic.

Obviously Titanic is JK's fave movie, not JM's, and I guess JM is used to be the one JK holds onto when they do this, cause that was no Titanic hug. More so JM just finding that carved out place for him on JK's back and getting comfortable there, lol. JM's closed eyes show us just how comfortable (not wincing because of the sun in his eyes, given that the sun was behind them).

Obviously there was a cut right there and then. Can't help, as usual, but wonder what ended up on the editing floor with this one.

Speaking of freedom and joy, their playfulness was next level (notched up a level higher at the house later on), if it's the way they talked to each other and if it's getting all handsy with each other, again, with the cameras rolling, says it all.

Btw, what bites was JK looking for there? The mosquito bites or his own? He was promised a taste of JM's blood, no?

Look, they knew that a. they wouldn't be taking things too far because of JM's leaking faucet and the staff on the boat (yes, they have signed NDA's, but these are still not company staff and the level of trust is as such); b. there was a whole bedroom under deck where they could be free of prying eyes if they wanted or needed (and they might have just taken advantage of said bedroom - to nap - get out of your dirty heads); c. even if they did go a little too far that's what editing is for. And we did see much of said editing in the show. Just a couple examples of sus cuts: when JK was feeling up JM's nice probably smooth bare leg talking about eating something, when JM climbed JK like a tree, and one example not on the boat - when JM was climbing JK's shoulders while brushing their teeth, laying on the bed, cutting to JK continuing to brush his teeth with his back to the camera. Makes you wonder if there was something he didn't want us to see. You know what I mean. Same thing he ran to the room to grab his big ass coat to cover in BV4.

And believe me, BH editors know exactly when it's time to cut. Not first time at that rodeo for them.

Funny thing is that they know it's curious, and they let us know they know as well, lol.

Question mark indeed...

They had so much fun on that yacht. Even with JM being sick and basically sleeping through much of it. The fact that it was so peaceful and they felt so free allowed him to get the much needed rest and get some of his strength back.

And JK just being there with him. That's exactly what he wanted and needed.

And before I end this just one little observation:

This is them. Once again, having that big mattress and yet the two ending up so close, needing to touch.

Ending up like this:
