Wilderness Vacation: Day Five -The Return


We slept last night with just the screen door and no heat. Sounded good when we went to bed. In the middle of the night it was a bit chilly. I got up and threw another blanket on. Now it really felt like we were camping. I remember those mornings where we would wake up in the tent almost freezing. Huddled up in our sleeping bags with sweat clothes on. Fondly I remember. Actually I don't really want to do that again so much.

Our new quiet coffee maker awoke us to fresh brewed delight. Two pots worth! Might as well, it's the last morning. We discuss life again and each other's dreams and goals. What we need to do along with what we want to do. That is always a careful woven task. We talked about our next visit, when and who will join. How can we make this our second home? Is it even possible?

With that said we reserved two cabins and a tent site for Fourth of July weekend. We will see who can come. Packing up the car was a bit easier with less stuff....mostly less food. We are so much more organized these days. I remember when we used to be finished with a trip we really wanted to just toss the stuff in the back and deal with it when we got home......unfortunately we never really dealt with it when we got home. The next time we dragged stuff out of the closet it was a mess!

On the drive back we made a quick stop at Devil's Backbone Brewery and grabbed a bite to eat and a couple of groggs of beer. A tasty treat for later on.

The drive is so much longer going back. Mavrick sits and watches the road for me. What a silly dog.

We get back and drive by Elite motors construction site. Get to quickly see what progress has been made. No stopping! Just home to unpack and rest for the evening.

Home is always so much nicer.
