A Cure for Traveling Woes


The airlines have really taken all the fun out of traveling. Half way through the flight I wonder why I choose to ride overnight in a crammed cabin with a bunch of coughing strangers with no food or water, lugging heavy bags through the airport because they cost so much to check. But after the endless flights and a day of driving we arrived at our first campsite in the Dixie National Forest near Brianhead in Utah. All was right with the world. The smell of pines, the feel of the dry moutain air and the warmth of an evening campfire sent me to sleep with a smile. The next morning we took a hike through the forest up to a ridge with an amazing view.

Once we arrived at our first campsite it finally felt like vacation.
