I heard a great quote the other day “In the real world life is hard, but the living is easy. Out here life is easy and the living is hard.” This speaks so many truths and living out here definitely makes you appreciate the little things. Daily chores are simple, but to fetch water to drink, dig a hole to poop, or being helpless for the weather will bring everyday reminds you of how much nicer civilization can be. This is especially true when walking up in the cold and pooping in the rain. On the other hand one doesn’t have to worry about, checking email, Facebook or any of the other things that exist in civilization. The only chose is simple, to hike or not to hike.
Here are some pictures of my adventures through Grayson Highlands where I saw everything from wild ponies to wild flowers.
