My sister and her husband have a really nice trailer and, just like last year, they took it up to a campground in Hanna (where my brother-in-law went camping when he was a kid) and they plan to leave it there for the month of July so that they and their friends and family can use it. Like last year I availed myself of this opportunity for a little camping trip this week. It was absolutely wonderful to be up in the mountains with the small of pine and the fresh air. After being there for only a few minutes I felt so relaxed (just driving through Wolf Creek Pass, which was beautiful, rejuvenated me). I love being in the great outdoors and, while you might think that being up there alone would be scary, I loved the solitude. It was so quiet and peaceful. Every morning I would wake up as soon as it got light and wander around, usually to the river, then I would spend the afternoon reading (I finished two books), and in the evening I would build a great big fire and make s'mores. I loved being able to see all of the stars and I loved listening to the rain as I fell asleep! It was perfect and I was a little sad to leave (but not too sad because I have a ticket to Phantom of the Opera!).
I'm hoping to be able to go up again later in the month.
