For What It’s Worth                    - 41 Days and Counting Down

Camping

The whole idea of free camping is to avoid paying rent and to have those unspent funds available for gasoline, food and unforeseen adventures.  Free camping is also a good way of avoiding annoying tourists types when all you really want is to be alone and enjoy the solitude mother nature has to offer.  Unfortunately I have been camping in campgrounds with inconsiderate campers before who played loud music and were up partying until 4 AM or so with absolutely no consideration for other campers.  When this happens all you can really do is complain to the camp management as you depart to go find a decent spot for camping without asshats like the aforementioned campers.  I myself would rather be totally isolated from these types of inconsiderate people, however that can be obtained.

Steve McQueen once said, “I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than to wake up in the middle of any city any day.”  I totally agree with his point of view and I plan to emulate that type of thinking as much as possible on our road trip.  If we did not see another human being in 2 weeks, I would be perfectly fine with that.  It’s not like we want to be all alone, but we prefer to be isolated from society and from any noise not made by Mother Nature.  Isn’t that what being outdoors and camping is really all about?  I wish I was out there at this exact moment instead of being here right now, that is for sure.  I can hardly wait to get out there once again and be doing my own thing.  I need to get out of this place, if it’s the last thing I ever do.  There has to be a better life out there.

Famous Quotes and Words of Wisdom

“It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready.  I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything.  There is almost no such thing as ready.  There is only now.  And you may as well do it now.  Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.”
