How old I look in the mirror of the SuperDuty

I was looking at my face in the mirror of the SuperDuty this morning, noticing how gray both my hair and goatee have become. How wrinkled my face is since I lost weight a few years back and started eating healthy. I know some of it is the time spent out in the sun camping, but also I am no longer in my mid-20s as when I first came to Moose River Plains not that many years ago.

But alas I’m 43 years old. Many people I went to High School and Boy Scouts with now have children going off to college and into the workforce. Many others have parents who have passed away, indeed, I read and think more about things like probate and estates, and what it actually means to have a homestead. Still I enjoy the wild days out in wilderness, even if they weren’t what they once were.

I know the SuperDuty and the truck cap is leaning into who I once was and the weeks in wilderness too soon will fade away. Still despite my gray, I want enjoy these days while I still can.
