@dm Wait… you should be counting on the Recreation.gov lottery system, not me. That’s a lot of pressure 🤣

(totally kidding. I appreciate all positive vibes.)

Holy crap, I find out TOMORROW.

I'm building out my itinerary. Fun stuff! Even if I suspect I'll throw out the plan by Day 2 or 3 🤣

Since this post blew up, I can't resist a shameless plug to my blog, where I share stories and photos of my hiking and backpacking adventures: https://seasonsofjason.com.

Happy trails!

@sunumbral Thanks Mike. Yea, I have a LOT of gratitude in my heart surrounding that entire trip.

This one time, at Camp 4...

@Duckbill4994 That's so awesome! Where did you go specifically? Anywhere near Pula? (I'm back in the states now, but I still believe Croatia IS one of the most beautiful countries on the globe)

It has been 10 days since my last hike.

@intrepidhero Type 2 Fun = The Best Fun!

"Up to this point, I'd climbed about 1000 feet in elevation. The second half had me ascending another 1700 feet with 70 more switchbacks. And these are even steeper. If you ever wanted to know what a StairMaster workout from hell might feel like, just hike the Upper Yosemite Falls trail.

Or take the stairs all the way up to the top of the Empire State Building – three consecutive times."

@p4p4j0hn Obvious reply from me, but: DO IT, John! It doesn't have to be some insanely beautiful, challenging hike either. Just go breathe some forest or beach air if you can. It makes a world of difference.

@sunumbral It's not just you! The sheer sight of raw nature can sometimes be so overpowering that it takes center stage in our brain cycles. Which is to say, I tend to lose common sense the higher I climb.

Because the higher your climb, the more beautiful things seem to become.

"I get to a certain point in tough hikes like this where time stretches out like a big piece of melting taffy. The end seems nowhere in sight. The climbing never ends. The negative thoughts find a tiny crack in my emotional defenses where they can climb back in and start dismantling hope from the inside.

But somehow, the endless visual feast more than compensated for the difficulty."

@Azarilh seriously though. It matters to me. You’re going right onto my Adventure Calendar for awhile.

@Azarilh Thank you so much for saying that. It's my fuel!

I tend to suck at self-promotion when it's about more personal pursuits, but I'm very proud of this piece of writing. If you enjoyed it, or know someone who might enjoy it, please share!

There's only one thing I enjoy as much as hiking, and that's writing about hiking.
Please enjoy my latest tales from the trail, along with some of my favorite photos.

@p4p4j0hn Yea, I remember that one! Always felt like that partnership had so much potential.

To be fair, Lenovo initially announced the SteamOS version of the Legion Go with some fanfare and had that fairly high budget commercial for it. But both Lenovo PR and public channels have been pretty quiet about it since then.

Let's hope that they make some noise when it actually launches in May.
