I usually start planning my next trip over that chimichanga or slices, though. Today was the first time I've ever yelled when I've opened an e-mail. We got the permits we wanted for the Grand Canyon in April. The thought of that trip will get me through winter. I love being in the wilderness, as it makes me feel close to a Creator I can't define and a connection I make nowhere else. The anticipation of a long planned trip is a huge plus for me, and the small trips in between are just gems in the crown. Man, am I glad I got those permits!
