Tomorrow I prepare for my trip to the Smokey Mountains and experience NATURE! I'm leaving on Wednesday morning, but I will also be offline Tuesday. There is no internet or cell service up there (which I'm very thankful for, it's nice to disconnect for a while) so I will be totally gone until I get home late on Saturday night.

This is a trip I go on every year with my dad and a few of his friends (this year one of mine is coming too :D) and we just spend several days up in the wilderness surrounded by lovely trees, babbling brooks, chirping birds, and cool mountain air. It usually rains quite a bit which makes things interested, but if we're lucky it wont. Normally we stay in a tent, but this year we've got a little camper to sleep in which will massively help with cleanup at the end of the trip, but I'm hoping it still feels like camping and not cheaty. We'll see!
