We moved in mysterious ways

Today was very mysterious. We decided to partake on all of the tourist splendor of the Trees of Mystery today. It was only about 10 minutes from our campsite which has already provided us with copious wildlife (elk, rabbits, quail). It has been nice. Although they have entirely too many warnings for bears...

2011 Letter

Greetings one and all - I hope that this letters finds everyone well in mind, spirit and body. A couple of months ago I heard someone talk about dealing with tough times and the importance of sticking with the fundamentals - the basic things that you would do in the best of times. Activities like taking a small break, taking a walk, eating good foods. Sometimes it is as simple as taking a five minute break to reset yourself mentally or go outside and get the sun on your back (at least when the sun is available).

I mean the laws of nature and economics (aren't they the same?) state that things must equilibrate. Cheap room...no show. Or better yet, cheaper room...more expensive show. Every vacation we have ever taken I have always been cheap; I opt not to do things, choose a bad seat, don't buy souvenirs and so on. Everyone one of these trips ends up the same. I get home and kick myself and bea
