Into The Wild

It took a bit to get me to convince myself to do one of these. Over the last couple weeks my prof for Stone Age Survival has been having us keep a journal and read some books. Hes been telling us to examine the basics of life, like Thoreua asks in Walden. Questions such as, what does it mean to lead a good life, what do you need in life, who am I? Things of that nature. At first I had a tough time getting going on my journal, but eventually I got into it. Ive been taking a bit of time during that class every day to go hike around Riverside State Park, just kinda soak in nature. This has really helped me to think and philosiphize(I think I made that word up) about those questions, and life in general. So the idea here is that Ill post some of the cool things from my journal, thoughts I come up with and what not, and also hopefully some cool pictures of things I see and experience in nature. The wilderness really opens me up to all of this, and I really want to do it all, experience nature and learn from it, learn about life through it, etc. etc. So that is where I will go, into the wild.
