How do you know that this is the experience that you need? Because it’s the one you’re having right now.
I’m not sure where I came across that gem, but it’s something I need to keep in mind.
I was so excited Tuesday night, I could barely sleep.
I went to bed early, even tried to go to sleep early, and still couldn’t sleep. I was like a kid on Christmas Eve.
I set the alarm for oh-five-hundred. I packed toilet paper, a couple of snacks, toilet paper, water, toilet paper, a first aid kit, and toilet paper. I made sure I had comfortable shoes and good socks. I was ready to rock and roll.
I lovingly placed my phone and my camera batteries in their respective chargers. The next morning, I limited my coffee intake (and, yet still managed to squeeze a bit in), stumbled around, gathered my supplies and toilet paper, and prided myself on remembering my phone and camera in its fancy-schmancy Crown Royal bag that is being used as a camera bag.
It seemed like it took 9 years to get there, but really, it was only a 45 minute drive to the hiking trail. It’s in DeSoto National Forest, and it was definitely worth the ride.
