Running for the Hills

Last weekend, after a particularly hard week, we ran for the hills.  Literally.

We were lucky enough to be granted permission to camp on a private piece of property way up in the National Forest on Rosilla Peak.  Given that the property was huge (a few hundred acres, I'm sure), we didn't see a single person for over 36 hours and it felt like heaven.




















We did, however...
~ Take several naps and short hikes
~ Find an appreciation for old construction and new
~ See several wild turkeys and countless hummingbirds
~ Consume S'mores, bratwurst and beer
~ Become inspired by ideas for our future homestead
~ Make wishes and collect wildflowers
~ Enjoy camp fires and fresh spring water
~ Come home refreshed and ready to face another week

Hope you're being kind to yourself and enjoying your week, whatever it's bringing you!

  1. THAT is Mr. VZ's special brand of heaven - me, I'd go stir crazy. My criteria for a perfect vacay, sun, sand, shopping and shows.
    Looks like you have a fab time.

    1. Lol...yeah...I work around hundreds of people everyday, so my idea of escape really is to escape ;-) Though the beach is always nice, too! Thanks for popping over!
