"Rest is not idleness,..."

"...and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time."
-J. Lubbock

Some nights it's where you stop.

Rand's View in Connecticut

I'm taking Ladder's advice [Ladder was a northbounder] tonight and camping on top of a mountain.  I'm on top of Prospect Mountain listening to Prairie Home Companion, eating creamy tomato Ramen and M&M, mixed-nuts gorp, looking out over northern Connecticut.

Camped out on Prospect Mountain

It's peaceful with cool air flowing through oaks bringing a desire to relax.
