Summer "Vacation" has begun...

Finals are over...
I am still unemployed...
I am living the life of a 'real' college student, sitting at home in the basement, playing the Play Station... LOL    But not for long!

Was hoping to head west this next week for a few days of solo-camping, but I don't think the weather is going to cooperate... (I can/will hike in the cooler temps...  But not the rain, and the Black Hills are expecting rain most of this next week. (Even a chance of Snow on Monday!)   So the earliest I might head out is NEXT weekend (5/17) for a couple days.

Plus it gives me some extra time to put together the pre-hike videos and posts, explaining the process again...

So now that all I am doing is "looking" for work...  I will have more time to blog away!!!

The next few weeks...

So it looks like things are FINALLY getting back to "normal" (Whatever normal will be after this...)

Anyways...    Classes are done...  Finals this week...   and then the summer starts...   Of course, my focus then turns to finding a damn job...   But oh well...

Anyways!    This time of year always brings my annual post-school trip to hike and clear my head.  I had thought about going to Cloud Peak Wilderness in Wyoming...  But after talking to the Forest Service office out there...   the trails and passes are still snow-packed, and will be, usually until the end of June.  So my trip this year will be back to the Black Hills, and Black Elk Wilderness again.  Maybe going at it from a different direction again as well just to keep it interesting.

Because of finals this week as I mentioned, and next Sunday being Mothers Day, I will probably head out some time after that. And because I am not currently employed, I don't have to worry about vacation balances, or taking time off.   So I may stay three or four days this trip.  That will be determined soon.

Along with all of this. Since classes are done, I will have some time to get some new content added.  Maybe a video or two before.   Some from "during" for sure...   And maybe one when I am done.   Explaining the details that go along with getting ready for and then going on a solo hike. Then a recap at the end to close it all out with things I learned or experienced on the trip.

Hope to share a lot of good things this summer...  Since there aren't a lot of good things going on in my world right now.

More soon...
