Wrangler Dani

I realized I haven’t told all of you about this yet, (how rude!) but Adam and I are headed out into the Wild Blue Yonder (better known as Utah and Colorado) on Friday.  We aren’t backpacking, we aren’t breaking new trails, we aren’t actually being all that hard-core, (unless you consider fighting with a 37-foot RV for a camping space in a National Park hard-core. Which it totally is).

But we are going to hike and raft and camp and see pieces of Americana that we’ve never seen before, hopefully appreciate our wild places a bit more.  We’ve bought Doritos for eating in the car and Dinty Moore for eating in the campsites, and we plan to fill our giant ice chest with enough victuals to keep Adam happy for maybe half of our trip, after which point we’ll probably be setting up snares ala Bear Grylls.

In the meantime, we have work to do, laundry to wash, bags to pack, maps to memorize, plans to make. I better get to it.
