I need to go out west, especially to see the desert and open spaces. I’ve seen Colorado, but that’s it. I really want to go to Burning Man some day too.

The overstimulation reminds me of how I felt (on a lesser extent) exiting a completely silent 4 day meditation retreat. After not looking anyone in the eye, hearing no music, reading nothing, talking to noone, and meditating for 4 hours a day, it was a shock to drive out on the highway and enter a gas station after it was over.

I think it’s important to have time to disconnect to everything and get back to a natural way of life. I can see why you love the west.

Reading this, I wish I could experience the desert… Still, having been to the mountains a lot more times than I can count, I know what you mean by being lost upon coming back “home”. I wish I’d gone even more often, and maybe some day I would be uncomfortable enough in the city to leave it once and for all.;)
BTW, the first picture is… incredible.

Ooooh I love this post. Those sun tunnels are amazing. Honestly, the desert never interested me, but after hearing about it from you and JoAnna, I feel I gotta see the west.

I love the west too. There’s no where else in the world like it.

Have you been to Burning Man? I went for the first time this past year and it was amazing. You should definitely go!
