I encourage everyone to take themselves somewhere. Recently I've been taking day hikes alone. I've realized that I'm a pretty darn good companion for myself. Since nature is such an important part of my life, I find that I can connect with it more when I'm not distracted. This doesn't mean I don't like hiking with others, it just means I enjoy connecting with nature on my own. I can move at my own pace -- I can even sit and stare at a waterfall for an hour if I want. I feel more free.
Next up? An overnight along the Superior Hiking Trail...maybe.
