Backpacking

I love the great outdoors. Indoors has comfort. Outdoors had adventure, challenge, freedom, and fresh air. Indoors has TV shows about nature. Outdoors had the full beauty of creation. Indoors has the internet. Outdoors has real life.

Yeah. I wish I had time to be outdoors.

I wish a had a place to be outdoors.

I'm househunting right now. I wish I had property. You know, a place with grass and trees. A place that I could just spend the night outside without having to locate a partner and go somewhere. Maybe that's just a guy thing.

Don't get me wrong. I love backpacking trails with friends (or even foolishly alone). I've bought a bunch of gear just for that purpose. But then I'm limited by schedules and other stuff that means I just don't get to do it, even though buying the gear makes me feel optomistic. Well, as much as I get anyway.

Sigh.

I've got to get outside or I'm going to blow.
