Spring is finally here and with the warmth it becomes easier to meet up and hang out in a safe way. Outdoor Sunday lunches with our friends might just become a bit of a tradition.

Last week we decided to meet up with some friends at a little lake not far from town. Me and Dan drove there with some firewood and prepped the fire to have good cooking embers ready by the time our friends Kim and Jon showed up. They went there by bike and got a little lost along the way haha but what’s an outing without some sort of small adventure?

Svarttjärn

I found this location by using Naturkartan (available as an app or on the web). It’s such a great tool for exploring your own home and discovering new places. I simply opened the app on my phone and had a look near us. I decided to filter spots based on where there was parking, a shelter, a place for a fire, recreational areas etc. We chose this spot because it was by water and because the walk from the car was only about 5 minutes – perfect when hauling firewood!
