Re-entering society after a long distance hike

[Rog Tallbloke]

Yeah, great story Nick. I wish I could find a place to buy a nice thick wool shirt from these days too. they don't seem to exist in the UK any more.

I did a 4 month trip many years ago backpacking and hitchhiking round Europe. Yugoslvia, Italy, Switzerland, France, spain. I had the second year of my degree to come back to. My mind wandered a lot in dull classes.

Jack,
Wheres the CDT report with pictures? I checked your blog once n a while and it doesn't seem to be working for me right now. Whats the next adventure for you?

Thanks for the shout-out Jacob.

What I've found is that the trick to re-entering society is to define what society is for you.

Doesn't have to be an EITHER/OR choice. I happen to enjoy my friends and my community and I miss them when I leave. Living in CO, I am also fortuante where I don't go play outdoors once every two years..but EVERY weekend. I love the backcountry skiing on a whim, exploring the off-trail peak that is not on any well known trail or

Part of me yearns for the "Next. Big. Adventure." But the Next. Big. Adventure. does not necessarily have to be months at a time. Negotiating unpaid weeks off seems to work for me at this point without having to restart every time I take off. :)

Anyway..HYOH..and live your own life.

Life is not black and white. Living life should be multicolored. :)
