Liked the fact that you didn't wax too wordy in describing such a sea change in your life.
Probably a lot of us who hike and backpack have a gnawing anxiety hidden deep that whispers we may follow your path. That we may head out one day and never find our way back to where we started.
Indeed, one might say that is a truth. You can never go home again, amigo!
Great story and would love to do something like this May thru Sept, maybe October in a normal ,non-drought year …. but begs the question about reintegrating back into the wonderful world of work and the accompanying great industrial cafeteria food.
Think I could go for semi-permanent nomad at this point…hmmmm
