Night in the woods
So my story begins on Sunday at 7 am. Now I’ve never been camping before (let alone hiking) and I was excited to experience something new. So my buddy calls me to pick me up at 6:30 and tells me we are going to be going to Myakka state park. Now I’ve only been to Myakka one time before for a few miles in, and was fairly confident in my ability to brave the wilderness, (me being an athletic individual and all) but little did I know that I was about endure a night of terror I have never dealt with in my life. Now my buddy is a pretty enthused wilderness expert right, he shows up to my house with a bag filled with supplies to last us the next 5 days all the way down to flint and steel for a Firepit. We only planned to be out for 2 days, (safe to say we were overly prepared) we only stayed for one night however.

Ptarmigan Tunnel
It was cold. Not the nice morning crisp cold that wakes you up on a brisk morning while camping, which is gracefully soothed with a morning fire. It was that bone-chilling cold. The kind of cold that you feel in the depths of your soul. The wind was flashing through the air and the rain was steadily pounding on the trail. A wiser man might have turned around and admitted defeat, but he had never been accused of being wise. He had finished weeks of working somewhere. Where had he been?

Home Is In The Evergreens. Top Story - February 2021.
Exactly one month ago, I woke up in a beautiful cabin overlooking the mountains. The first morning at our new home. Somehow our little family of three had managed to land an affordable rental with a view in a renter-starved market. The view was magnificent, with floor to ceiling windows showing off the impressive Rocky Mountains that dominate the landscape. We had packed up our lives, set off across the country, moving for the first time away from family, away from all that we knew, with the hope of adventure and new beginnings.

We watched while the logs were licked and caressed and eventually consumed by the sinuous dance of the fire. Daring flames occasionally leapt out, and my skin reddened under the heat. Notes lifted with the smoke to drift over the small crowd, as the guitar player’s fingers lazily plucked the strings. We had come to the end of our time together; exploring the formation of this small island, clambering over rocks that had been bent, ripped, and pulled back into the depths only to erupt anew, all in a past beyond our sight.

What it’s Like to Live Under a Rock
People often ask me, albeit rhetorically, "Do you live under a rock?". Of course, none of them have ever expected the guileless "Yes" which I respond with. I can’t really blame them though. How are they supposed to know I live in a house that looks like it’s been taken directly from the set of The Hobbit? I grew up in an underground house located in the lush rainforests of Queensland, Australia. It’s a place called Finch Hatton Gorge.
