Life is full of choices

Saturday, August 13

After a day of puttering around the Best Little Trailer, working on my blog, enjoying reader comments, and relaxing with my Paperwhite, I’m in the mood to go somewhere.

“Okay, crew.  We have a choice.  We can take a walk around the campground or we can find a new place for our walk.”

Bridget, Reggie, and I board the Perfect Tow Vehicle!

We motor out of Beaver Creek Campground and travel about a mile to the trailhead for Tewksberry Trail.   Instead of taking the trail which leads into forest, the crew and I walk on the nearby bluff to enjoy the view and late afternoon light.

I admit there are times when I wish we could hike a mountain trail.  We don’t because it would be too much for Bridget.  Passing up hikes is okay.

I choose Bridget over hikes any day!

P1130495Colorado turns out to be a great choice for this summer.

It’s interesting to me the different choices made by my crew.

Bridget has always been reserved and contemplative.  Reggie has to run, jump, climb . . . .  Of course these are not entirely choices.  It’s who they are.

Like most people I regret some of the choices I’ve made in my life. 

Choosing to sell my house, give up my vegetable garden, and shed most of my stuff to live and travel in a 17-foot trailer is a choice I’ll never regret!

The rig one chooses can exert a strong influence on where one camps.

One can choose to live large for $40 or more a day.

Or one can choose to live small on $9 or less a day.

Neither choice is wrong, as long as the choice fits the person.

“Ready to go home, punkinheads?”

After the pups have a drink, I pop them into the PTV and we head back to camp.

Hmm . . . I could make myself a cheese-lettuce-and-tomato sandwich for supper . . . or maybe scrambled eggs would be good . . . .
