Memories of the Rockies are still in my head like a little secret treasure in one’s pockets. Certainly, I know I’ve woken up many of my girfriend’s adventurous spirits from this trip. Choosing to do something like this was easy for me. And it surprises me how almost ‘in awe’ most of my girlfriends are at such a thing…traveling alone without knowing anyone?…I guess there is a certain vulnerability involved, that one has to put one’s self out there and not be hesitant of the adventure, the experience, good or bad, or other women, for that sake. So, I’ve already got two who would travel in a heartbeat with me. Although, for myself, part of the fun was/is being on my own and making this ‘MY’ experience versus ‘OUR’ experience. I think one definitely learns more about oneself as well as opening up to others without the safe hold of having a familiar friend nearby which tends to limit the experience…possibly anyway.
