 Slipping into your bitcoin-only feed with some #nostrnormie content.... Featuring one of my Southern Utah faves, Goblin Valley State Park. Homeschooling allows us to enjoy these spots without the crowds, as it used to be, before they paved the road.

Had a chat with a fellow driving across the country to NYC who asked me where we camp, and how far it was to Grand Junction.... I mentioned we camp on BLM land, to the north, it's free and we were alone, hadn't seen a soul....

He said he would never, ever, do that. He only feels safe in a Walmart parking lot, "although there's some places I will no longer go. You do need to make sure everything is secured, though, or people will steal it." 

It got me thinking, is camping where others aren't scary? Do you avoid places devoid of others? We certainly do, we've spent the last 2 trips in remote locations, under the stars, no tent.... Do you seek out these experiences, or am I crazy? lol

 Farther you are from society, generally the safer you are 🤙 
 agreed, it seemed like such a bizarre comment. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 
 solitude is precious, I seek it out when camping and at every opportunity in life. I am a country mouse, not a city mouse :)
