to get away from lots of bad people , and be alone with nature, and a small number of good people.

distill your reason down to one sentence.

One sentence?...ok (excluding the "one sentense" prefix). I'm a businessman living in the big city, trying to survive the "rat race" and I need to get out of here - desperately.

Yes, for such a fantastic site/forum and with such great advice, it definately IS a bargain (even at 1/2 the price). In fact, even at some "Ivy League" universities I would'nt get the same real-world education I am getting here. Seriously, I did click on the link but then doubled back and went to my online checking account and discovered that I currently have a balance of $28.84 and then decided to back off for now. I felt guilty and sort of like I was'nt "putting my money where my mouth was" but I should be in better shape when my check arrives on or about the beginning of next month (August). I may own a business but like I said in another thread, I am by no means rich and I struggle through life just like everyone else. I was going to donate $10.00 for now but decided to check my bank account when I got to the CC# part. Anyway, that sucked but what could I do?...sorry:(

i just want to be by myself in the woods, by myself not meaning solitary so much as independant.

I like to walk, and a trail in the woods sure beats any sidewalk.

To let go of control, clocks, schedules, reconnect with nature, and experience 6 months of getting back to the basics....hike, eat, sleep, think, survive

It started with "to reach Katahdin" but you know, by 2/3s of the way until the very summit it really did seem to be largely about blueberries!
