Hike off the Recession

Interesting story on NPR about people thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail after losing their jobs (might be hard with a family though). I love the idea of people turning to wild places to deal with the recession. Hopefully it makes us all appreciate simple, authentic, wild experiences.

how bout we "paddle off the recession" One week and counting. Might as well be christmas at my house. I can't sleep, can't eat, can't focus, and 2 weeks from now I'll sink into depression knowing it is all over.

Kia ora Wild Bri,
Simplest pleasures are the best, and if people reconnect to that in nature it has to be good.
Cheers,
