Travels are over, at least for now
Yesterday was my first day back home after 3 weeks of traveling. I spent two weeks in northern California visiting family and lending a hand where I could. Then I took a trip to Washington state to visit my mother and some friends. Overall, it was a great time and I got to do some of my favorite things like eating huge home-cooked meals, hiking and sight-seeing. I am sure glad to be back home, though.

WOW, don't you just love the woods? Nothing better than hiking, fires, cooking over a fire, fires, coffee in the morning over the fire as the sun comes up. Maybe even a cigar in there to set the mood as the sun goes down.

@BigPappa You are so right on. I love camping and backpacking nothing to me seems more rejuvenating.
Yep, I find I have to "unplug" at least once a month. I have a little place in the very northern reaches of Wisconsin. Takes me 6 hours to get there but it is well worth it.
