In California you can go camping in March
I'm backing out of a full-length post this week because I can't fit it in. I've been letting academia sap all of my writing energy lately (and even that's not enough.) I've also been letting it make me a little crazy. So, that is why this weekend is coming at a perfect time. I am forcing myself to take a break. The three of us are going backpacking with a group of awesome people. We're going to Sykes Hot Springs in Big Sur. In my lifetime of camping, I have never gone all the way and carried it all on my body. We'll be hiking 5 miles in tomorrow morning, setting up camp, then hiking another 5 without packs to the hot springs. Once we've relaxed enough in the springs, we'll hike the 5 miles back to camp where we'll stay for the night. I'm nervous and excited. Apollo has no idea what his weekend holds.

Ohhh California. You rule. Mary, Andy, and Apollo, you also rule. Have fun!
Big Sur changed my life for the better, the majesty, the feeling that your amongst the oldest places on earth was humbling and invigorating all at once.
I am very happy for you and yours, it will be a great experience made greater by the company.
Hiking Tip for Big Sur: When faced with a hill, jut your chin infront of your hips, knees etc. This will move your center of gravity slightly off balance and make your brain cause your legs to catch up. I have used this trick ever since the Army, and it has been phenomenally successful for me.
