Very nice
Excellent essay, ER, I can almost taste the salt air.
My brother rented a pair of llamas once to take his young kids camping in the Front Range. He had a great time.
When I was working on my master's, I spent a week alone camping in the field. It was only a two mile hike out, but I still felt alone in the wilderness. My support vehicle was parked a mile in the opposite direction. Traverses included a stop by the vehicle to resupply. It was a great experience. I haven't done a solo like that since.
