Back to civilization

I just rode in to Rawlins, after 3 days in the middle of nowhere. It was glorious, I would just ride toward the horizon, occasionally getting passed by pronghorn antelope and wild horses. Because there was only water every 50-60 miles there is not alot of human life around. And the water that was available was mostly standing and cloudy, but it still tastes amazing when you are thirsty enough.

I was thinking about how much simpler my challenges are out here. But as simple as they are, they are very real. I was thinking back to my days of undergrad where we were never sure what to study, how well we had to do on a test, and if it would even matter in the end. We would be anxious over tests, knowing that if we failed every single one we would still have food, water, shelter, and our mothers would still love us. How trivial these problems were.

If I don't drink I will die. But I found water. Problem solved
