Theodore Roosevelt National Park in March Theodore Roosevelt National Park in March

I have been meditating a lot on the reason for moving out to Solen ND. About the solitude, about facing my own habits and insecurities, about the freedom of less noise, less fences, less advertising, less options and more stars.   I dreamed of using this post to travel to places west of Chicago more easily. I realized working in the gardens I won't be able to leave for more than 3 days at a time in the summer so July trips to Canada or Alaska likely have to wait until I am done with the position.  

I am grateful for a landscape the provides visual theraphy even just driving to the next town , those buttes and clouds captivate my heart.  I am grateful for a park full of solitude and animals friends less than 3 hrs away from Solen. Theodore Roosevelt National Park feels like my back yard.
