So I told you all I was going to washington state. I went there and it was a blast. Here is a picture I took.

I slept RIGHT there, was amazing. Unfortunately my mind was still land locked to the grid, people, and city life. It takes me about 2-3 days before I start saying "ahhhhhhhh, yes." after leaving the city.
Anyways, a lot of things happened or were present at the time of me being over there that dramatically cut my trip in the woods short - no bear can, lots of snow (I only brought shorts!), forgot a lighter (ugh).
I ended up spending one night at the above picture, and one night here:
I didn't take that picture, but I could have - my tent was right under where he or she took that pic. Very awesome. It was about at this time, the sun finally showed his head, and I became overly ecstatic with ecstacy that I was in the middle of a beach, and I knew I wouldn't be seeing another soul for another few hours ( I had gotten up with the sun at 7 am and it was a 1 mile hike in). It was great, however from here on out I changed my goal from sleeping in the woods to trying to make my way to san francisco california.
I hitch hiked, stayed with one person, hostelled twice, slept in dicthes off the side of roads twice, and slept on bus trips. It was a very interesting experience, and I learned an immense amount from it, however I didn't get what I wanted to get from it. I got a lot about the areas and such, and learned many stories from others, but I never really got to examine myself. I never had that night or day of complete introspection.
But, without the introspection came dozens of stories, an enlightening experience, and some rather unforgettable encounters. I feel good about it - I think everyone should take a solo trip somewhere, minimal supplies, just to see what you are capable of.
