Once the initial unease
of stepping out of cell reception
and trading street traffic for open trails
wears off, once the feet become
accustomed to sidestepping roots and stones
and the legs churn out miles smoothly
without rest, once the whirling thoughts
dissipate into a mist of ferns and pines
and stress simmers into the roiling boil
of survival, that is when
the real journey begins.

Nicely put… Isolation and the wilderness
Thanks! Yes, there’s something special about that combination…
Completely agree stunning… Check out some of our posts about it… Especially Angel falls and the lake district
Thanks for the recommendation. Wow, the Angel Falls journey sounds incredible! I’ve never been that deep into the wilderness before, I think I would be a little terrified.
It wa sslightly scary but we’ll worth it… Did some trips in Africa like that too. Going to blog shortly about the Desert in Namibia so stay tuned
I’ll look forward to it!
