this summer 1 week ago

i have no doubt that this goal will be accomplished sometime this summer 2009. i just don’t know when.



Setting the Goal 1 week ago

This would be amazing to do, I bet. I just need to find some time to do it, that’s all. Now is a bad time, it being Rainy Season in Florida. It’s also very hot out, and not ideal conditions for a night under the stars. Maybe this winter, when its cooler out…

This entry officially marks the setting of this goal.

run to nature with nothing but a sleeping bag and appreciate the beauty.

Amazing 3 weeks ago

Backpacking through Europe, met up with some people in Czech Republic. They brought us to camp by a lake called Slapy. After a bit of a sing along around a fire we all started to crash. I climbed into my sleeping bag outside the tent and fell asleep staring up at the sky.

At some point in the night it started raining but it was so warm that I just put a cap over my face and continued sleeping. When I woke up the next morning, everyone was coming out of their tents and I just chilled out for another hour in my sleeping bag, it was great.

I don’t do this often enough.

Sigh... 4 weeks ago

Another cloudy night.. I wish it would let up for at least one night! It’s been cloudy for an entire week now and it doesn’t look like the sky feels like clearing up any time soon…

I AM A WILDERNESS EXPLORER!!! 4 weeks ago

Just returned from a great trip to Algonquin Park. What an adventure that was considering it snowed there the day before we arrived! YIKES I should have packed some warmer clothing :S (I will know for next time!). The Park was gorgeous, trees everywhere, and the only sounds are those of yourselves and the animals scurrying in the forest around you (such a change from the city!).

DAY 1: planned to wake up at 7 am (hehe we all know that didnt happen), hit the snooze and eventually crawled out of bed at 7:45
-car packed and we are ready to go at 8:45
-arrive at the visitors centre and get a map and sign the guest book :)
-check in and find our campsite
-set up!
-go exploring! Walked around the park and made our own hiking trail in the woods only to discover that there are mud monsters that eat hiking shoes and lots of animal poo to avoid stepping in!
-attempt to build a fire (in the pouring rain, for the first time lol…yep that was interesting :P)
-get the fire going and have a great night talking and eating around it!
-had a new friend, aka a hug raccoon that wouldnt leave us alone (and maybe I was a little afraid of it lol)
-sleep, at least attempt to sleep considering it dropped to around 2 degress!

DAY 2- wake up to the sound of the birds…at 5 am!
-go on a medium level hike around peck lake which was lots of fun and extremely scenic
-go for a long canoe ride around canoe lake, was a lot of fun and extremely amusing both on and off the water, the real challenge is getting in and out of the canoe without falling into the water!
-make a raging fire, likely due to the absence of the rain, grill some burgers, corn, potatoes, and steaks, oh and the marshmallows! (which i burned my mouth on and manages to get on my glasses, jacket, fingers, and face!)
-sleep, a little warmer but still freezing and there was a frost warning

DAY 3- Manage to sleep in till 10am
-pack up everything after chowing down on some breakfast
-walk down to the beach to enjoy some last minute bliss
-count bug bites! I managed only one :D
-fill out comment card and leave the park

All in all it was a great trip and I am sure I will be returning!

Cloudy Days, Rainy Nights... 4 weeks ago

I wish the rain would let up and the sky would clear up. It’s been nothing but gloomy clouds and rain for the last few days.. And not the “nice” kind of gloomy (If you get me?).. If the clouds and rain let up by this Friday I might attempt to sleep outside ‘under the stars’, I’ll just need to wear 10 layers of clothes and use about 4 sleeping bags. It COULD work..

It's Winter down here... 4 weeks ago

I’m putting this down as a goal so that after I’ve gotten sick of this site and forget about it, I might randomly come back during the Summer and be like “Hey! I should go through with this goal!”. I considered sleeping under the stars next Friday night, just on my trampoline – But even in Australia a Winter night can get pretty cold! And with Swine Flu being reported right where I live I’m not to game to expose my self to extreme cold.

But I will do this in Spring or Summer provided I remember this is a goal! Which I will!
