I was happy leaving sequoia on that last trip in September, I kinda knew I wasn’t coming back for a little while, it is getting close to the end of the season.
One of my things this year was to camp every month. Yeh not the most prolific resolution but it was something to do and look forward too. Now with only about three months left I am ending the project. There was never pressure to plan trips and camp all the time. About half the trips randomly came up an I used them as an excuse to go camping, and the other half were planned out with permits and scheduled days off. Last weekend was my only free weekend of the month, it could have been for camping. But all the planning and work that was gonna go into it, I didn’t feel like doing. Even the last couple trips were really hard to get all done. They were fun but more work than it should have been. I think its okay to kill projects, sometimes starting them you don’t really know how much goes into it, so it’s good to know when something needs to end. I really want to take the best trips from this year and do some things similar next year. So for the next couple months I am going to write and recall all the trips I did this year. Some good old fashion reflection, hopefully I can summarize the trips by memory. Also, I will try to do some gear reviews as well.
