I saw only one other person during this trip. I don't know whether to be thankful or disappointed to have such places and times to myself. It is nice to have the peace and solitude, but I wish that more would understand the value of these things. It does take some effort to complete such a trip, but when the trip is so enlivening, it is simply worth that effort. And in part, it is the effort itself that makes the trip so rewarding and valuable.
