My own Observations:

Being outdoors brings an exhilaration that I cannot explain fresh air, grand forest, wildlife busy scurrying about not just surviving but being alive and enjoying the struggle of life. Ever since man gained consciousness he has longed to return to were he began the land the sea and most of all the struggle of living were true joy is found!

Awakening to the continual roiling of the stream nearby, my eyes
open from nights sleep in this outdoor paradise, pulling my boots on and stepping into a new day.
Cool inviting and fraught with opportunity, I am ready for this days adventure and
the sun as yet to touch the ground.

"The trail seemed to disappear before our very eyes, as we walked into the unknown wilderness, fearful, excited and yet comforted in the thought we are with our own mother earth"

Returning to base camp, I find myself wanting again to leave to explore one more corner of the world, my body says I have had my fill for today and I must rest my tired bones, but my mind burns with hunger for more"
