Took most of the winter off of hiking, not because I wanted to but due to sheer inconvenience (if you can call it that in a bad economy) of having to work too much, but I did get myself a new pair of hiking boots, long overdue. And the Wife bought be a wonderful new Osprey Atmos 65 backpack.
Of course I was dying to try them out, so I finally went out Friday morning about 6. Hiked about 3 miles into a local state forest and ended up near a lake and an established campsite with firepit. Set up the tent about 9 am (had left around 7am) and relaxed the morning away listening to music in the tent. Woke up and got some lunch ready, started a small camp fire, and about 1pm started in on a few nips of bourbon.
The rest of the afternoon went accordingly. No people, good food, good drink, and good times had by..... me. Went to sleep early, slept wonderfully, woke up and went to work today in a great mood. Nothing better than 24 hours alone in the woods. Besides, more than 24 hours. Just wanted to post a few pics of my relaxing day.
