before i digress, let's send some peace and happiness to his family who miss him.driving home yesterday to richmond, traffic was heavy and stressing me out. i decided to utilize my GPS machine and take some sweet back roads.
gorgeous, right? before i knew it, i was in the middle of jefferson national forest on a dirt road with no cell phone service. the first 15 minutes were pure beauty and enjoyment. 
thirty minutes in i had the thought that a weaker woman would be crying. i was off the map and i got nervous: what if something happened to my car? when would i be found if something happened to me? no one knew i was taking this back road (if it could even be called that). i tried to focus on driving safely and how beautiful the forest was. i put on some tunes to try and calm down. finally, i passed another car that clearly possessed an errant GPS as well. i was so happy i took a picture:
after 45 endless minutes, i popped out of the forest and was on a paved road! with cars!! i immediately pulled over to a scenic overlook to call my brother.
next time i'm off the map, i need to be better prepared.
congratulations on being such a brave woman. i recently got lost in the woods and freaked out and that is arguably why michael and i broke up forever. true story. i am thankful for your wits and for your brother whom you can call for always. we are neither of us into the wild but we can love and send love to those that are. amenamenamenamen
