So it would seem. Today is January 17th, which means we are well onto the second half of the month, but it will continue to drag out quite a bit until we reach the warmer and muddier weather of April. I am hoping to get out camping fairly early on in April, although a lot depends on how much snow there is left. I honestly would much rather use all scrap paper stuff around my apartment to start a campfire then take it to the recycling center.

The thing I miss the most about this time of year is traveling. I can certainly make day trips, but it’s still pretty cold to do much outside most weekends. You never know what the back-roads are going to be like this time of year or how a snow squalls could impact your travels. I love being back in the woods, listening to music next to a campfire, having a delicious campfire meal on styrofoam plates, while enjoying a cold drink.

Supposed to plunge back down for next week. More winter like with less mud. Maybe even a bit of snow. Maybe for my birthday weekend, the weather will be nice for some kind of road trip.
