Denny on August 20th, 2007

Sometimes it is a good idea for me, when things seem kind of screwed up, to take a couple of full steps backwards and re-evaluate the general direction my life is going in. One way that I like to do that is to go on a camping trip. I like to go primitive camping far away from everybody and everything. Anybody that has followed this blog can attest to the roller coaster ride that is my life. That is not really a bad thing as long as balance can be maintained between the ups and the downs. Therein lies the problem with this drifter, too may downs, no where near enough ups.

It is past time for me to take those steps backwards. For the next few days I’m going to be primitive camping on Bolt Mountain. Basically just to get away from life for a little bit and get in some quality thinking time. There is definitely no lack of prospective camping spots on the mountain that will isolate me from everything. No phones, no people…

If there is one thing I’m good at, it would be dealing with being alone. I think I have gotten to the point where it just really doesn’t matter anymore. It is easier drifting alone. I don’t really know where I am going with this post. So I’ll just stop here and say that I will be back in a couple of days. Then I will tell you all about this little adventure.
