Pandora is being kind to me tonight. The music is soothing. My body is tired from climbing and running.
I know that I spray often about how good life is. It's unlikely that I'll stop any time soon.
My heart has been tugging at me to do a few things in the next year. They're hardly resolutions, just desires. Here goes:
Road/Climbing Trip - As long as the Trooper will hold up, I want to visit parts of Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, Texas and Mexico and climb there. I want to live on the road. I can sleep in the car. I even bought a TomTom. I still need to find myself a portable stove of sorts, but I have food storage for several months and the motivation to climb.
Central America Trip - This one seems to be fading, but it will come back to me. I may be able to combine it with the road trip. If I end up in Texas, it would be a great jumping off point. South I shall go.
Anasazi - I want to work(ha!) for a couple weeks. I could use the quick money, yeah, but I really just want to go out, live in the woods, and see the miracles that happen on the trail. I'll go. There's no doubt.
It would be a shame for me to post this and none of the good songs that I've been listening to. So, enjoy some common, but good songs:
Ray
Denison
Wilco

I also have the Anasazi bug in me.....I keep trying to figure out how to squeeze a week in here and there. I'm thinking at the end of April, when I have a week off between semesters at BYU-I I might try to pull it. Spring on the trail........papago lilies and no stoves yet......yeeargh.
that picture is incredible.
Don't take off too soon, slthough I figured you would sooner or later. As always, come by more often.
i totally understand the road trip bug thing. Since I've visited most western states except washington and oregon, i am thinking of making a trip up north in the summertime to experience them.
Last year at Canyonlands I met an Australian couple who had taken 18 months, come to the American west, bought an RV, and were driving from one national park to another, hiking and seeing the sights. Living the dream.
Sounds like you have a great year in store...
Have fun and Good Luck!
