Wilderness Longing

[jwillis54]

Hi there,

I still work but just completed 5 weeks in my popup camper (and another week of vacation at home). I really long to see more of the wilderness when I retire and RV. I wrote up Observation One from my trip, which talks about this wilderness longing.

If you wish to read the post, it is on my blog at

Thanks!

There is a magic in the woods that is for sure.

We have found a canoe and tent in the BWCA works well.

With a PUP there are many similar areas that can be accessed and enjoyed that are just a bit out of reach for my TT.

That is so awesome Jane. I too long for that. All my life, for as long as I can remember, I have felt the draw of the woods. I cannot fully describe it other than this pull that says come to me. Like the woods are talking to me. I so wish I could say goodbye to the concrete jungle and just retire in some remote place away from the huge city life. Not necessary off the grid as I do enjoy a cup of coffee and wine. 🙂

You lead a charmed life if you were able to spend 5 weeks away. I am happy for you. 🙂

In my popup I was often off the grid. I had solar for 12V power, and propane for a gas stove and refrig! Lots of coffee and wine (and Bloody Mary made with V8 now and then when I need more veggies).

I wish I had 6 weeks every year. I am a minister and get a sabbatical every 7 years. We used to get much longer, but church budgets are tight (it is paid time off).

So many good writes talk about the lure of the wilderness. I have some book lists on my blog...can send you links! Jane
