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.
