When Time Stood Still



Today has just made me want summer to come sooner. I am sick of grey skies and bad roads. I miss the beautiful summer skies and backpacking around First Roach Pond. Last summer, I worked 35-40 hours per week. I have no idea what I was thinking. Next summer, all I want is to: 

1). Climb a mountain and watch the sunrise at least once a week. 
2). Camp for a weekend on a relatively unknown beach. 
3). Learn to drive a standard.   
4). Kayak from First to Seventh Roach Pond. 
5). Visit my uncle in Colorado. 
6). Climb Katahdin at last twice. 
7). Have a fire every night it's not raining. 
8). Learn more about Buddhism. 
9). Get a killer tan. 
10). Buy a camera and film the whole thing.

So two things...
1. This list reminds me of our great, unsuccessful idea to have an adventure.
2. I have a cabin like a quarter of a mile from Baxter State Park. With a great view of Mt. Katahdin. Road trip?

I like thiss listt, jim. And it is good idea not work as much as you did.
