homestead trail

i took alot of photos of the mountains and our hike this morning, many of which i liked a lot.  but when i asked myself what image would make me the happiest to look back on in years to come it was no contest.  this happy guy ahead of me on the trail is just the best thing.

woods quarry

i've been missing lately life off the grid; missing the stillness of a little cabin in the woods and the life that revolves around daylight and dust.  i miss the quiet of the forest, silent except for the crunching leaves under my feet.  i miss waking out there - so far from any human noise - to birds and sunlight.  i miss the smell of cut wood and the nighttime visits from lions and bears, terrifying as they may have been at the time.  i miss my cabin friends, our delicious feasts, our arts and crafts, our gardening, our guitaring and our laughing.  i miss river days.  i wouldn't trade my life now for a life i once had, but i know that in my happiest future, there is a cabin in the woods.
