The painful economics of camping

You know, you set down to write a blog and suddenly you discover, you just don't have the time. At the end of the day, the economy happened. Time for camping, blogging and just about everything else I was interested in doing has been replaced with trying to keep a job and, as my company failed, then trying to find a job. It's a mess out there, folks, and I pity anybody who isn't setup with steady work right now.

My trip to Georgia went well and the air mattress bed worked out perfectly. We camped in style. But I haven't been out to the wilderness again since. Soon after returning, I got the bad news that my company would be down-sizing. I've found part time employment and am earning money from some other jobs but I'm barely scraping by. Thanks, corporate America, the lack of government controls and greed for depriving me of my modest little income and the few pathetic freedoms it afforded me.

Oh well. Maybe I'll have more to say next year but I doubt I'll get out to the wild for more than some hiking for the remainder of this year. Stay strong, everybody. Hopefully things will turn around.
