I’m hopeless, simply hopeless

I have so much to write. I went for a group backpack over the weekend in the Angeles National Forest. It was a very good time until the very end, where some unexpected drama occurred that threatened to destroy the whole trip. Thankfully, there was a happy ending.

So I have to blog a backpack trip, and do a separate post of the trail as a day hike. What do I find myself doing instead? Spending the entire evening playing with the track from my GPS. In other words: completely geeking out.

I’m a lost cause, geek-wise… and surprisingly okay with that.

I remember a hundred lovely lakes, and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees. The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk, opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets. It has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful. Whenever the pressure of our complex city life thins my blood and benumbs my brain, I seek relief in the trail; and when I hear the coyote wailing to the yellow dawn, my cares fall from me - I am happy. -- Hamlin Garland
