[pct-l] Embarrassing question

[lynniegk@hotmail.com (Lynn Scharf)]

Hi, for the past year or so I have had a goal (or personal vendetta?) to 
make myself comfortable backpacking unfamiliar places alone.  At first I 
would just go and set up my camp really early and hang out for a bit, try to 
nap and then get up and make myself wander around in the dark until my eyes 
adjusted and I felt a little better.  Then I would go back into my tent and 
try to nap again, until I started feeling uneasy and then I'd get up and 
stroll around a bit more.  After a few nights of this torture I was too 
tired to do anything but sleep (as suggested before by hiking your arse 
off), but I also found a wonderful understanding of the nocturnal 
life/beauty in my area.  Very cool, very painful, but I think it works 
well...for me.  Best of luck!

Lynn
