Thanks for the illuminating write-up. Mexico sounds great, but I sure would miss trees. They're my tribe.

 

I have long maintained that the world isn't as dangerous as many report. I've lived in two ghettos and taught in two urban schools with the most violent kids. I worked on a res where white folks told me to never go unless unescorted. The danger of my being on the res, where I was nearly everyday, was that the kids would knock me over when they raced to hug me. And I taught in coal country too. I never felt imperiled.

 

Same with solo paddling thousands of miles or living in the wilderness.

 

Now, as an old woman, I launch in bogs in full darkness. In this case, I'm grateful that many would be afraid to do the same because I'm a bog hog, wanting the bog to myself.

 

One morning, I launched and within the first minute, heard a heron's screech, a bullfrog's croak, a beaver's splash, and an owl's hoot. I laughed imagining a city person hearing those four sounds and thinking their end was near.
