camping

i tried to take a break from music today.

i tried to go camping.

no radio, no ipod, no laptop, no guitar. a happy, no music, listen to the silence, break:)

i loaded myself into the car, sleeping bag, stove, parka.

i drove to elk island national park for a little r & r.

i went hiking through the snow along the lake.

i stumbled across a few buffalo ( i really did, kinda scary)

i stared for what must have been 45 min.

i headed back to my car to make dinner and get set up for the night.

i forgot, spoon, cup and several other critical items.

i debated a night alone without a flashlight, digging out soup noodles from a pot with a stick....

i loaded myself back into my car. humbled by my inability rough-it :)

i am now, warm and fed and showered listening to the National, typing away.

even the best of intentions... :)
