Well said littlebirdie. I grew up playing outdoors in the woods of southeast Michigan. I went to the University of Montana and hiked in the Rocky Mountains and swam in the blackfoot river etc. I have always had a deep love for nature but I too find myself slipping further away from nature. Recently I have taken up running as a hobby just so I can be outside. When I first started, I would run right up to my car or door and then be done. Now I leave at least 1/2 a mile to walk at the end so that I can meander for a bit and enjoy my surroundings. I think I need to start camping again. Enjoy that bike ride to the volcano!
