Into the Wild
Tomorrow morning at 7:00am I will be leaving with roughly 10 college students for a week-long backpacking trip in the Sisters Wilderness Area in central Oregon. I look forward to this trip every year and this time around is no exception. There are no real wildfire threats this year and I have been lunging like there is no tomorrow. It is time to see if the lunges are really going to pay off. There are many last minute preparations left for me to do, not the least of which being to give myself a haircut and hope that the week allows it to grow in a little before rejoining society.
I have a large and slightly misshapen cranium and when my hair is shaved I look like a fuzzy albino potato. My wife is already on a camping trip with my sons so I can’t ask her to do it and if I leave my hair the length it is now I am pretty sure my brain will jump out of my ear in search for a cooler environment. So off I go. Wish me luck and maybe I will post pictures when I get back.
