Read the text of the photo below. The Wilderness I patrol and monitor is very little used. It is WILD! The bear that was walking toward me sniffing the ground the other day was a perfect example.
There are some days where I'd rather have a faster pace of life, maybe on a bike, maybe at the shores of Lake Tahoe or June Lake, and there are days I want to be with friends. I started to finally study the GRE (I applied to UVM without this score) in my tent at night. Each night I think of all the things I want to see and do out here. Ultimately, I feel very far from home, but I am thankful for my friends out here for keeping me occupied and distracted enough not to go home yet. My summer will be filled with things until mid-August. Maybe then I'll get to some things on that tick list.
