Disclaimer, my day has been pretty annoying so I'm typing annoyed.
I'm kind of done trying these days. It's almost just not worth the effort to get outside and try to do anything anymore.
I've been looking forward to Fathers Day for a bit and I'd planned on getting out into the woods and having a relaxing day in one of the spots I know to be isolated usually near water.
We get up early, I pack everything as per normal, we hit the road.
Of course 26 is backed up as per normal on any sunny day as of lately. So it takes 45 minutes to get to Timber Junction from North Plains.
Once in the woods there isn't many folks driving around, but that does not mean they aren't in there.
First site, kind of off the beaten path, near a stream, a camper was there.
Second site, usually no one around for miles, a group there, using it to shoot. I was really annoyed as there is zero backstop at all and they were shooting all sorts of garbage. Normally, the part of me that does what it does for Trash No Land, I would get out and chitchat, but I wasn't in the mood so we just turned around and drove off. They never even stopped to allow us to, figuratively, safely turn around and not be shot.
Third area, many various sites, was just too crowded. Now I'm just down right, boarder line, furious.
At that point I called it, and I was done. It was no longer worth it to keep trying to eventually get to a point where I can relax. I don't think at that point if we found a nice spot, I could even actually relax.
The thing that really irks me, is, I'm starting to no longer even want to try doing this stuff anymore. Everything, everywhere, is busy.
Yes I know it was Fathers Day on a nice hot weekend, but still. Even on a weekday areas are insane. I'm done trying to venture further and further out to try and find a bit of sanctuary. I'll just stay home.
Anyways thanks for listening, if that's what you call reading this annoyed persons thoughts!
