In my twenties I loved being in the outdoors like this. Decades and injuries leave me no longer able to do the things I once did, but my love of the outdoors did pass to my daughters. Thanks for letting an old man remember what it was like to winter camp.

Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Soon the MOTB shall be share to all.

Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV) I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: And before you take me as a “troll” and “spam”, bother to watch all my 7 playlists, dear soul.

You’re like a little fairy in nature that just shows up in the most random of places. I mean , if any other hikers came through and stumbled across you , just playfully existing as you do alone , usually , they’d be scratching their heads like where did she even come from out in this weather. Always a thumbs up from me and much respect Rosa.

[@WJSpies]

Four miles hike in deep snow, wow! I'm impressed Rosa you're amazing. What an ambitious and adventurous life you lead Rosa. I'm an old dude now, but when I was younger I traveled by bicycle for thousands and thousands of miles, alone and unafraid. There were always people to meet along the way. Rarely did I spend a night alone, campsite to campsite, hostel to hostel, motel to motel, home to home. People saw me traveling by bike, and always wanted to know about me and my travels. I made lots of friends; some friendships lasted for years. Often people opened their home and their lives to me. What seemed best: when I had enough of the company kept, I could simply pack up and move on. Then came the Internet and everything is different now.. we are never truly alone, but also very isolated, when we choose to be really isolated we easily can. Once ending my travels, I missed the solitude fairly often, until I chose to pick out a new life; very isolated and full of the much desired solitude. Solitude just makes much more sense, I like being with people just fine, but often I've discovered many many people don't seem to be with it a whole lot, very often missing the whole point, as it were. So being in solitude is welcomed company. I like myself just fine, often most people are burdensome to navigate atound. You'll do fine Rosa by knowing yourself better than most people know who they really truly are. Your lifestyle is awesome.
