I need to stop watching the Discovery channel. It inspires me too much.
Inspiration makes me do crazy things... like get in my car and drive very very far away.
I feel bad, my journal has become nothing more than a place where I reminisce upon the "good old days". But really, nothing exciting happens here! No fire, no mountains, no long hikes or rock climbing (no offense, Grand Ledge - souther MI's only outdoor climbing) or anything like that. I think that's why I'm getting my motorcycle license - I'm seriously deprived of adrenalin!
For example, I was running in the gym watching the tv's tonight and one was showing a Discovery channel show on National Parks. Made me want to be a park ranger again (One of my earliest career interets - I was a junior ranger!). Made me want to jump off that treadmill and into my Focus and head west until I decided to stop. I better buy a house fast. I think wanderlust is a stronger instinct in me than domestic suburbanism. ;)
Here, let's recycle one of my more favorite photos I took back in the good old days.
I have to ask, if being a part of the wilderness is what you so passionately want to do (as it appears to your readers) why not give in and make that jump? I guess what I'm asking is what's preventing you?
