Adjusting

The past few days have been a serious adjustment. Cars, buildings, asphalt, noise, brown.....
I didn't think I'd react this way. Real life.....
I have things to get done here in Denver but am aching to get back into the wilderness. 
The desert is calling but Yellowstone has my heart. 
I thought it was silly when people would say it would be weird to drive over 35 mph. 
Once I got behind the wheel I thought 40 was 100 mph. I had to look for stoplights. I had
to look for people. I had to watch for other cars. I had to use my brake. It was a strange feeling. 
Still is. I honestly don't know if I'll get used to it. Eight months seems like an eternity. I am hoping
those months will fly by just like the winter season did. I want to be back on my skis. I want to 
feel -20 on my face. I want to see another sunset on Fern. 
But for now I'll wait. Wait out another summer so I can be where I want to be.
