After a whirlwind drive to Colorado, followed by a flight home to visit family, it was time for this introvert to slow it down and check out from the world for awhile. Three days of dispersed camping (free National Forest, no amenities) off Poudre Canyon with no cell or internet was exactly what I needed! I slept a ton, practiced Spanish and my banjolele, rode my bike and hiked every day, and generally tried to acclimatize to the altitude.
Spending a few days alone reminded me of one of my truths: I’m almost never lonely when I am alone in the wilderness. I’m much more likely to feel lonely in a room full of people.
This is my camp kitchen! Everything I need is within reach and I have a two burner stove to wrangle up a proper dinner. Nights are spent oscillating between reading a book and looking at the stars. Happiness!
Zoom in the see my camp spot! I’m so small!
The start of my Lean On Me series.It was a beautiful stay, my jaw unclenched, and I was ready to ride bikes with friends again after a few days.Thanks for playing!
