>>1356431Anon I have very much appreciated your sharing of your experiences, but I take issue with your allusion to this dichotomy where you're either a) an admirable freewheelin' Jack Kerouac kinda guy or b) a soulless wage slave who can't enjoy nature due to employment and its related responsibilities.
I didn't grow up affluent and I don't like relying on others to facilitate my experiences, so I have to maintain awareness that I have a job and bills to facilitate my /out/ endeavors. I don't think that prevents me from gaining as deep an appreciation for the night sky and breeze as someone who is able to drop everything and hitchhike for months at a time.
Anyway, Moab and surrounding areas are beautiful. I was just in that zone last month; pic is related.
Keep doin' what you're doin' anon.
