So long suckers

April 29, 2007

I’m off for an eleven day 115 mile backpacking trip.

Not that you’d even notice I was gone, with the lack of posting at this pathetic site.

But now you know. I’ll be in the wilderness of Southwestern Virginia. The weather looks to be awesome and I am more than ready to get out there and go.

Maybe a few days in the woods will re-ignite my desire to write. Maybe it won’t. We’ll see. That doesn’t matter anyhow, I’m not doing this for inspiration.

Think of as re-boot of the mind and soul. I go out there for a bit, let the stress and clutter of the everyday world sweat out of me as I’m walking. I’ll enjoy the cool mountain nights and bright Virginia sun. The old woods of this part of the world are awesome. And while I’m out there, it is a magical feeling.

When I come back, the real world will infect me again, but at least I’ll be starting fresh.

Peace.
