About Me

My photo
As a teenager, I subscribed to the notion that one should "retire" (read: celebrate life) in his twenties so he could learn from the world less encumbered by material trappings and only then should he settle in to adulthood. The world may be a more compassionate place. This, I believe, is true luxury. I am now in my forties.

Dolly Sods

There really isn't much to a camping trip. I wake up to the first sunlight, eat a hearty breakfast cooked on the little camp stove, go for a fabulous walk along plateaus or down into plush river valleys, and relax with some friends around a campfire. We tell stories in between long quiet trances within our own thoughts as we pass along this preserved countryside. City time ceases to exist. For a moment, I can retune to nature.
