Taking A Break For A While

Hey Everybody:

It's not like I'm addressing adoring fans (hah!), but there are a number of DUers who are E&E regulars, and I wanted to let you know what's happening as I step back from posting.

First of all, I already spend too damned much time in front of screens, and it was my first vacation in a couple of years last week that helped me figure that out. Some days of hiking and some miles on the trail and knees stiff from literally months of sitting began to unbend.

It also reminded me that I need to spend more time out in the world instead of writing about what's happening to the world. So, with that in mind, I'll see you down the road - and thanks for sticking around this forum!

Best,

hatrack

1. Good for you! And for me - I need to follow in your footsteps.

Nothing very grand, just some nice trails in the woods.

2. A beautiful place to enjoy some solitude and recharge energy.

Best wishes for a great getaway and maybe let us know where you are

3. I will miss your posts

Consider leaving some leads to your news sources ?

Enjoy your break

4. Smart. Welcome to my new approach!

I'm here less than 10 percent of what I was, and posting even less.

Lots of hiking, kayaking and gardening for me

Catch you again, and around, eventually. Thanks for your superb posts here.

8. Enjoy the time away. It is really healthy to turn it all off now and then.

And don't look at your cellphone either!

11. Less computer time is good. No offense to anyone. There is life beyond a screen.

12. Wherever you are

it's stunning.

13. Beautiful pics!

Enjoy reacquainting yourself with nature. You are setting a good example for those of us who would benefit from doing the same.

I’m not Irish, unfortunately, but this seems apropos.

“May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.”

I’ll miss your post.

In case anybody's wondering, the photographs are from Escalante/Grand Staircase National Monument (southern Utah).

If you have the chance, go - It's like Zion but without people (pretty cool combination, IMHO!)

In order:

Lower Calf Creek Falls
Along the Escalante River Canyon
Fifty-Mile Canyon

See you in a few months . . . .

19. See you on down the road, hatrack.

Thanks for letting us know. I hope you find your peace, AND a way to keep it within easy reach at any hour, and anywhere.

Hope you come back soon, with lots of great stories to share.





And one more thing: Where were those photos taken? That's a whole lotta beautiful!

20. Enjoy your well-earned break, and return refreshed and revitalized.

After the regime of tfg, everyone needs a break sooner or later.

21. You will be missed.

Enjoy yourself. You deserve it.

25. You will be missed.

I am here less, because of my health. Maybe I should follow your lead and take a break, too.

See you later!
