Re: A Simple note about life
When I was in college I went backpacking every summer between the spring and summer semesters - sometimes for a few days going 20 or 30 miles, once I went with a close friend of mine for 10 days, we hiked 100 miles through the allegany national forest in NE PA.
when you first get out there you feel like you are in survival mode, even with 60 lbs of gear and food on your back
after being out there for a week you feel like you could do this all summer without ever needing to see a store or paved road
and when you get back home, no matter where you live, you feel like a king living in a castle
its all about perspective.
