Eureka, I reka, we all reka

So earlier this week, I booked a trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas. For sure, I’ll be making a post about my trip (both during and after the fact), but it’s wild for me to be booking a camping/wilderness-ish trip. In (what feels like) a former life of mine, I H-A-T-E-D camping so much. I’d always dream of visiting cities specifically. I remember dreaming about Las Vegas as soon as I left it, and imagining the likes of New York or Tokyo. Bright lights, big city.

And anytime I ever went camping I was miserable. I was too stuck in my tech withdrawals and found the outdoors drier than the Mojave (both where I was and the outdoors in general……you get it, you get it). I even took a couple trips to Wyoming where my most favorite part was the end. No, not how we ended the trip, but when we pulled into the driveway and I was DONE with that shit.

I don’t know. Maybe the outdoors appeals to me more now. I’ve always thought I’d enjoy the outdoors more if I didn’t burn on contact to sunlight and if my blood wasn’t to mosquitos what hot dogs are to Joey Chestnut.

But I’m actually looking forward to the downtime, the disconnecting (for the most part), the outdoors, the unplanned “adventuring”.
