Mind Over Matter

I went camping with Erica this last weekend at Angeles National Forest. We hiked up to the top of one of the mountains, but I was too lazy to bring my camera. So I have no proof. Oh well. So much for a photo blog...

We met this guy at a campsite next to us, and he was wearing shorts, a sleaveless T-shirt, and sandals. I kept asking if he was cold, and he would say, "Mind over matter." Your mind is a powerful tool, and it can change how your body reacts to everything that is relative, such as the cold.

He also had an empty bottle of wine in his hand that he kept offering me, and I would tell him I didn't want his empty wine bottle.

Mind over matter.

And in regards to my Camp Shack tips, I forgot my pillow (again), and Erica refused to eat cliff bars and bananas. So I was responsible to make sure we had music, and a comfortable tent/sleeping arrangements, and she was on food duty. I set up in the dark and accidentally put the tent on a small slope. Turns out sleeping on a hill means she gets squished.
