Walking Trail, Crossroads RV Park, Lyndon KS, May 6, 2010
I'm taking a break
I'm going to stay here the weekend and see if I can't get caught up on some website maintenance I've been having a hard time finding a big enough block of time so I can concentrate on it. This is a nice quiet park with a mile or so of hiking trail and should work just fine for the purpose.
Besides, I need to slow down a little - I'm way ahead of schedule on my trek east. Sometimes my planned stopping points don't work out. The park or Walmart I have figured for a night camp sometimes has the wrong vibe and I keep moving.
Passport America
I joined the Passport America discount camping program and have been staying at some of their member parks. This is one of them, probably the best I've found so far. My standards are pretty modest but I've come across a couple of older parks that gave me the willies. Passport America has some screening to catch up on.

Life is to be Lived, Not Controlled
No indeed, the world is just as concrete, ornery, vile and sublimely wonderful as before, only now I better understand my relation to it and it to me. I lived a public life and attempted to function under the assumption that the world was solid and all the relationships therein. Now I know men are different and that all life is divided and that only in division is there true health. Hence again I have stayed in my hole, because up above there's an increasing passion to make men conform to a pattern.
.... Whence all this passion toward conformity anyway? - diversity is the word. Let man keep his many parts and you'll have no tyrant states. Why, if they follow this conformity business they'll end up by forcing me, an invisible man, to become white, which is not a color but the lack of one. Must I strive toward colorlessness? But seriously, and without snobbery, think of what the world would lose if that were to happen. .....Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in the face of certain defeat.
