I visited Mt Rushmore today. It was a beautiful sight. While driving away I passed a campground full of people and wished I was staying there. I couldn't because I didn't have a travel trailer. That was when I realized that I didn't want to backpack or camp in a tent anymore. I wanted to be amongst people, to talk to and get to know. Also sleeping on the ground hurts more when you are older.
I wonder when I changed from enjoying backpacking to wanting to spend time in campgrounds? I realize that this change is one of the contributing factors to the failure of my bike trip. I'm not terribly sad that the trip ended, but more upset that I failed at something and that I wasted time, money, and energy in something that I shouldn't have started.
Hopefully, God has gotten me in his right path. I am also starting to listen to all the things he is trying to teach me.
