The Loner in Liz

Who knew? Who could imagine that a career high school teacher and an elected public servant for over twenty years loves solitude? I woke up this morning, looked at my calendar and saw some blank days....An opportunity for a camping trip! A little road block was a dead battery in the van. My good friend Bob Whitt must have read my thoughts and stopped by to "say Hi". He guided me to resolving the problem, and I was on my way again. I knew where I wanted to go - a desert place I have wanted to see for 71 years, passing it every time I drive across the desert to Las Vegas and beyond.

Hole in the Wall is located in the Great Mojave Desert. There will be no fueling opportunities until I return to Twentynine Palms. I am almost down to half a tank. The last 25 miles has been on dirt roads. Witnessing the recent flash flood erosion at every turn, I make mental notes of the thunder clouds overhead, the the high ground.

Here's where the "Loner" kicks in. I am watching a magnificent sunset across the spectacular expanse of desert mountains; next to me in the East, and to the South the desert expands for 70 miles. A soft breeze cools me, and puts Sheila and Cinda to sleep.

My life is so good, but never as good as when I can be alone in nature. love, Liz
