Wow! I've just got back from two weeks up in the mountains and it was fantastic. Just what I needed to air out my mind and set my soul right with the world again!

There is absolutely nothing like being alone at 12,000 feet in the Rocky Mountains to cleanse the soul and free the spirit. Even with the haze of smoke that covered the sky most of the time, the stars were clearer and brighter there than they could ever be out on the plains.

Even though I do this two or three times a year (depending on if I can get away or not) it never fails to lift me up and make me feel whole again!

The real reason I made this post was to tell a little story that you guy's might find interesting.

Three day's into my trip I was up at Bear Lake (the southern one just west of Trinidad not the northern one up west of Boulder) My tent was pitched and I'd spent the whole day hiking around, taking pictures of flowers and the little stream that runs down to the lakes up there. So back at the camp I got out my laptop, thinking I would use my cell phone to log onto the internet and check my email from work and such but I was out of range and my cell phone wouldn't connect! Damn the bad luck huh! (NOT!)

Anyway this couple from a nearby campsite saw me playing with my laptop and came over. I guess they just felt the old human instinct to interrupt someone if you see them doing something (shug). Anyway, they said that they had noticed me the day before (don't worry this doesn't turn into a sex story) and that I hadn't cooked anything. They wondered if I was hungry. I don't eat a lot when I'm on one of my sabbaticals and I don't like company either but they seemed like a couple of okay kids (late 20's) so I didn't threaten them or immediatly castrate the man, although that was my first instinct.

To make a long story short(er) we got to talking and I told them, in hopes that they would get the hint and fuck off, that I was writing. They didn't get the hint and asked me what I was writing. Well they looked like nice prim and proper people so I told them I wrote porn stories for a free web site.

The girl just grinned at me and asked me if I'd ever heard of Literotica. That just about floored me. We talked for a couple more hours. They hadn't read any of my stories, but said they would when they got back home to Kansas.

After that I put my laptop up and didn't even try to log in or write again. The last thing I wanted was to give someone else an excuse to come into my camp and talk to me. That is the only bad thing about San Isabel, they won't let you do wild camping so you are forced to be around other people way to damn much, but this was an interesting encounter.

Well I just thought I'd share that with you.

By the way Quin, if you read this, they were big fan's of your "Forbidden Pleasures" series. If I'd claimed to be you I might have gotten laid, ugly and nasty as I am. But I didn't.

Welcome back

Nice to see you back on the boards, Ray.

Next time, when the conversation turns to Lit., your first question is, "Who do you like?".
 
Life just never is as exciting as our stories

is it?

Sad, but realistic. Of course, if there really was that much sex going on out there, we would have had to find a bigger planet long ago!

Welcome back, and I'm envious that you can get away like that.

Now, get busy writing!

Ray! Of course you were missed! Good to have you back. Damn, haven't been camping in so long, I can't remember when - I'm envious!

Hoped you enjoyed yourself, even surrounded by all those people!
 
welcome back dear :)

i'm glad it wasn't anything i said that caused you to disappear!

your trip to the mountains brought my own recent trip into the wilderness and snow of the Southern Alps back to mind. thank you so much for that.

it's amazing how getting back to the rawness and simplicity of nature can center us in our world again, it can give us that change of perspective we need to move on.

small world takes on a whole new meaning, i bet you're relieved your visitors weren't your neighbours :p
 
Hey WildSweetOne, Yeah the mountains are the best place in the world. As far as my neighbors go, well they wouldn't have disturbed me :)

maybe i should send you mine then. here i am sick as a dog and they're next door banging like they're rebuilding their whole house instead of putting up a little trellis fence eh.

oh bring back the mountains!!!
 
I'm going to be a shameless usurper

(Before I begin, a hearty welcome back, Ray! Very happy you enjoyed yourself!)

I too was in the mountains, though mine were the mountains of Mexico, city of Puebla, population 2 million. While there I took 6 credit hours of Spanish and a much-needed excursion into independence. I realized just how young I am and how early I devoted myself to a lifetime commitment, and I almost made mistakes (though even now I am unsure of that word) that would have ruined my relationship to the man I love.

But out of that, I pulled a really nice idea for a story! Oh, the life of a writer--take near-trauma and turn it into mainstream smut. It's somewhat formulaic (yeah, my command of the English language decreased as my Spanish increased) in plot, but since it's based around the fantasies and scenary I so enjoyed throughout the month, the language and description should be lush and vivid. It's also a blatant self-insertion, so anyone who actually cares to get to know me knows where to turn. o) Sadly, I have prior engagements at the moment and I'm not notorious for my productivity, so I don't expect this story to be finished before Christmas, depending on my workload next semester. Anyway, wanted to officially announce my return and my addition to the story concept list. What's this make now...

Reiterating: welcome home, Ray! Sorry the seclusion thing didn't work out too well for you.

WildSweetOne, I have a formula for dealing with neighbors that is sure to work.

Wait until about two in the morning then get out your chainsaw and start trimming your trees. Make sure the muffler on the chainsaw, assuming it has one, is good and loose so that it really rattles good when you rev the engine.

When they come out to cuss you out, and they will, politely tell them that they shouldn't mind you doing this, because while you were sick and trying to get some sleep they were keeping you up. While you explain this keep reving the chainsaw's engine and waving it around, gesturing with it like an excited Italian.

Two or three instances like that and nobody on the block will even speak to you, and they will be quieter around your house when they know you are home. Just the way I like it!

And Quint, welcome back. Glad to see you return. I'm looking forward to reading your new stories.

QM, I don't remember if you were one of the guys that complained about my old Oompa Loompa or not, but dude your Avatar really gives me the willys!
