…I felt lucky because the temps had dropped just as I started my traveling & camping adventure through Northern Arizona & Southern Utah. It was the end of August. A hot but monsoony time of year, with rain sprinkles, big billowy clouds, and rainbows that will greet you in the morning for coffee. I had a pick-up truck and my dog, a camp kitchen, and my new camera. What else does one need? Traveling solo felt awkward the first couple of days but then it felt more natural. Solo makes me nervous, as I suffer from a terrible sense of direction (all my friends can attest), I can never find my stuff, and I love remote areas. However, if one were to get lost… ancient lands are a very dreamy place to get lost in. I get so dreamy with the land and the sky and the clouds. My free spirit wants to play, explore, be kissed by the wind, and roam around at random with no earthly possessions, especially shoes! Somehow I found my way back home in the end…
