Time to Survive

I'm almost all packed up. I'm going camping for a while, just by myself. I haven't done something like this in four years, so I'm a bit overdue. It'll be cold and I'll be underprepared, but the fun is in the challenge. I mostly just want to get away from everything so I can think clearly and uninhibited. It's hard these days to find such a secluded environment as a campground in the dead of winter. I'm a little bummed because I can't take my guitar, it'll be too cold. But I'll probably still sing. Who would be there to hear me? Anyways, it's on the Natchez-Trace Parkway at the Meriwether Lewis Memorial Park. I'm not sure how to get there yet, but it's mile marker 385, so that ought to be info enough. I'm dying for a little bit of exploration anyways. I'm sure there will be hiking trails too. That'll be awesome.

Let's see... yep, a low of 27 degrees tonight. I suspect I'll be okay. I know of a few survival methods to keep warm at night, plus I have extra cloths and a pretty good stock of firewood to see me through to the next day. It'll only be for one night. Depending on how cold I am I might stay well into the afternoon tomorrow, but that's pretty unlikely. My cell phone will be off unless I need to use it, so if you call, you're just going to get my voice mail. I'll try to take some pictures to post when I get back.

As for last night, it was amazing. I went contra dancing which is a mix between ballroom dancing and square dancing. Guys were definitely the minority, so it was pretty fun. I'm planning on going back next Friday, only this time with a better pair of shoes. My feet are soar.

Peace and love.
