I miss the mountains
Don't do it. There's snow up there. Give it a few months and it will be much nicer. There will be berries and mushrooms and sunshine.
I like the peacefulness of the snow, the dead silence is otherworldly
Agreed. There's nothing quite like camping in the snow. Just be sure to pack lots of wool clothes, more food than you'd think you need (just in case you get snowed in), and don't go alone - buddy system!
I miss winter evenings where you can just go outside and enjoy what the freshly fallen snow does to the light and the sound. These used to be something we had every winter when i was a teenager. We almost never got snowed in for real around these parts, but it used to be that there were at least some weeks each winter that actually felt like winter and not like a darker, colder, shittier autumn.
Yea ive libed all over the u.s and really like the Rockies but the mountains of the northwest have my heart, specifically Wyoming.
Moving to the Rockies was the best choice I've made. I'm one hour from true isolation and some reaffirming physical challenge and camping at all levels and some engagement with most of my hobbies. The only place I'd rather live here is in Washington with the evergreen rainforests.
I've never not lived in Washington, but I live on the dry side, it's about 10 hours to be in the rainforest. I've been a few times and someday I'd like to head west and live there. The Blues will always feel like home though
Being from an extremely flat county, I've always loved mountains and would some day love to get a cabin somewhere remote to just enjoy the solitude and view.
I live in New England so nature's pretty shit, but I went camping in the woods the other day
It's kind of cold, right? You gonna bring a chainsaw for firewood? Also why don't the libs in here organize a guerilla army by crowd funding the money for a training camp?
ehm going back in the mountain might mean in a house in the mountain, not the raw wilderness
damn yankees, not everywhere outside the plains is uncivilized, smh
No firewood, just me in a tent :) I've spent a lot of time winter camping, and while a fire is nice it's too much effort to do leave no trace in the snow
