“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.” - John Muir
"When's your next day off work? Adventure?"
These are words I could always say to Chad. Our first 18 weekends our freshmen year were dedicating to gathering up people in a car and going. Anywhere. Somewhere. Nowhere. Our kindred hearts took us on many adventures.
Living in the valley sometimes feels like cabin fever. The past couple of years I've worked hard to find contentment in this place and I think I have. But sometimes, you just need a mountain [and a waterfall doesn't hurt.] So that's what we did. Bryan, Chad, and I piled up into the car at 5 am. Just in time to watch the sunrise entering into Yosemite.
Safe to say that my wanderlust is cured
...for now.
