4 days in the wilderness

Quite intentionally its been four days that I’ve spent in the wilderness, totally off the grid. Where I was camping at Moose River Plains was deep enough in a valley for no radio reception and I’ve been no where I’ve had cellphone reception. So I’ve been cut off from the world and what is happening beyond the dirt road I’ve been camping on. There could have nuclear war and I would have not even heard about it.

But I’m kind of glad of that – despite not having internet at home or a color television – I feel like with the smartphone and the occasional times I turn on my transistor radio I’m caught too much up in the 24 hour news cycle and analysis of Trump’s tweets when none of that really matters for my own life.
