The title of this post pretty much sums up my day. I did get out for a hike around part of the reservoir, but mostly enjoyed taking it easy, even treated myself to a delicious afternoon nap after a dip in the chilly water.
There are very few people camping at Utica, which is wonderful as it is quiet and peaceful here. But I am used to camping and hearing people nearby especially at night, so when it gets dark it’s a bit disconcerting not seeing other people close by. It was easier after getting through my first night, and I felt proud of myself for handling the discomfort and fear. This is part of the growth I’ve been seeking.
