Heading to the mountains

[TrapperParticipant 2912]

Time to throw my gear in the truck and blast off to the mountains. May be a little rainy and damp but I’ll be camping alone and there won’t be any bitching.

My tent is all water proofed and a tarp will be lashed over everything giving me a dry area to cook and sip a drink. It’s been too long since I’ve heard a fire crackling, a creek running by and bacon sizzling in a pan.

Time to unplug and just rest. Enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the outdoors. Let nature recharge my batteries and ghost the world for a couple days.

My first evenings meal will be steak, eggs and hash browns with a big crispy pile of bacon. Then I’ll move on to a cigar I’ve been saving for months while I sip a little crown.

It’ll be good to get away and have the solitude. Think about goals and how to achieve them. Whittle a stick and let my thoughts drift while the rain taps the tarp above me and the fire slowly dies.

Every man needs his private time to unc~~~ his mind and regroup. Either from his job, woman or even friends. A man just needs his time.

I’ll raise a glass to Stealthy, wherever he is, Jan as well. They’ve helped bring peace to other men and I hope they find theirs.

Finally I’ll crash out on the most comfortable cot I’ve ever had with thick warm blankets and sleep better than I ever do in a house.

Nice way to express the serenity of the moment bother, especially the cigar with a drink.

Hope you enjoy it out there man. And do share if you have some revelations about life amidst cracklings of fire.

Would love to do that one day and ghost for a week deep in the woods somewhere.

Enjoy it trapper, mountains are a place of healing for me. The higher and away, the better.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

Say hello to my best friend the mountains!

Enjoy yourself! Bring a 1st Aid kit just in case. Especially medical tape, or duck-tape!

Thanks guys, I’ll definitely be enjoying myself. Every little detail. Very few bugs this time of the year. Also, with thanksgiving holiday here in the US around the corner, most people are occupied.

The little meat market I go to is awesome. A very large barrel chested man runs it. He makes his own bacon and still wraps in butcher paper. He’ll talk your ear off about the process and takes pride in it. I’ll pick up a pound on the way out.

I’ll let the craziness, drama, and commercialism of this holiday get dumped on others this year. Let the mind pollution and political yammering land on someone else’s soul.

I’ll be free. That’s worth being thankful for.

I’ve got 3 first aid kits and would’ve forgot to toss one in. Thanks Tower! Not sure how it slipped my mind. Spare tire is aired up. Jack is ready. I always forget something, but always make do.

That sounds like a nice plan, Trapper, and it won’t be long before I do the same, though I’ll wait for spring when the forest comes back to life and all the little creatures get busy living.
Enjoy your time up there, mate!
