Cabin Fever!

Last year I had very few opportunities to do anything majorly physical. I went biking with the kids a few times-- I'll be so glad when they learn to ride their own and I can stop hauling them around on the trail-a-bikes-- and hiking twice, once with the kids, and once with a beautiful woman.
Already, I'm looking out the window and I'm ready to get physical again. I keep flashing on wanting to go hiking, maybe even do an overnight. I've got a small two-person tent, and while my sleeping bag isn't the lightest I've packed it before and I could pack it again.
I just have this... jonesing... to get out into the wild, to eat nuts and fire-cooked hot dogs and morning scrambled eggs packed in a little yellow safety box, to drink water from a filter that you hope catches all the nasties, and hanging out with someone-- just one other someone, from a very short list. Maybe four or five people on it now, but by the Aten it's time to get the heck out of the house.
