The weather couldn’t drown out the warm vibes.
I needed some time away from life, a patch of quiet ground and some solitude to really get re-grounded and recharged. I found it here.
The host gave a friendly wave as I drove back to my little cottage. She was available as needed but left me to my own peace and quiet given that my stay went off without a hitch.
The inside of the cottage is cozy and charming. Since the night was going to be a cold one and I haven’t been camping in years, I wondered if I would end up wishing for a hotel. What I found is that having a space heater and a thick pile of warm blankets to keep the cold away was infinitely better for deep sleep than a furnace.
All the essentials for a starter fire were provided, plus everything you’d need to stylishly rough it for a spell. The best part of it all for me were the two tiki torches on either side of the front door. They provided light for a surprising number of hours. As I lay in bed and took a leisurely time falling asleep, I would glance up at the door and see the orange glow from the lamps flickering through the curtains. They almost seemed to get brighter the later it got.
On the way out, I took a snapshot of the old blue bus that’s parked near the road, and felt a little wave of emotion go through me. I have found inspiration for my life in both the book and movie versions of Into the Wild, and this bus could almost be the other’s twin (in spirit at least).
I hope to come back and bring my wife some day. It’s a wonderful little escape.
