People Place or Fish

[Cross Country]

Each to his own is a really good comment. I always knew that as a backpacker I was not "normal" and that's just the way it is. I like campsites different from either of you. That's what makes us unique and individuals. I celebrate diversity, but being a limited human, I have to admit that I am more comfortable with people not too different from me.

For me it is all about the solitude. Living in a heavily populated area and working a high-stress job that involves dealing with all kinds of people getting out with my brother (who I only see a couple times a year since he moved west) and finding solitude is tonic for my soul.
