Wilderness

|

I often think many areas they call wilderness areas aren’t true wilderness. On the other hand, areas not called wilderness can be very much true wilderness.

I spent four or five hours hiking today back to Hilderbrandt Vly and Glasgow Lake and did not see another person. The snowmobile trail while soft and flooded in many low lying areas contains little evidence of overuse, indeed I suspect these lakes are little visited except by snowmobilers and a handful of hunters and fishermen. If anything Glasgow Lake shows the signs of the most use of the area but at least while I was there I didn’t see a single other person.

What I Like To Do Around Camp

|

People sometimes ask what I like to do while camping⛺ Besides sitting by the fire and listening to the spring peepers and the birds,🐸 I also will often put on some music or a podcast, especially in the evening.

In the day time I like to cook – I actually like camp cooking better than at home as I’m not distracted by all the other things going on at home. 🍳I also spend a lot of time reading as camping often is a long distraction free time for me. Lately I’ve been spending more time writing, 📚as I’m trying to capture more of my thoughts and experiences in words.

Camping in the wilderness is a chance to get away from all the noise and problems that are inherent in living in the city.
