Once upon a time I hiked four miles in the snow up Green Canyon to camp in a yurt. Now, for those of you that know me, you are probably shocked by the previous statement. You are probably thinking, "Kinsey hates nature! and dirt. and camping. Has she lost her mind?" Well folks I have some new for you. I NO LONGER HATE NATURE. I ACTUALLY QUITE ENJOY IT. I went into this yurt extravaganza with an open, positive mind. I decided that I wasn't going to say one negative thing about nature, or hiking the whole time we were on our trip. It's funny what a positive attitude can do for you, because I learned that I really do enjoy the wilderness. It really isn't all that bad. I actually liked it. A LOT. I liked hiking in the snow and enjoying how peaceful it was. I liked not having to brush my teeth or wash my face. I liked not caring about what hippie had previously drank out of my mug. I liked sleeping in a sleeping bag. I liked snowshoeing. I liked the snow. I liked the beautiful mountains. I liked the campfire smoke smell. I liked backpacking. and I liked staying in the yurt. I liked trying something with an open mind. I LOVED IT ALL.
