That's me, looking for the lawnmower that's lost in the tall grass.

No, very tall grass (not actually that tall, but it felt that way, first mow of the season and I put it off for a while)

I've always liked the message an image like this conveyed. Being independent, going your own way, liking a bit of type 2 fun. But at the same time if you take it literally, it reminds me that doing precisely this is often frowned upon for different reasons.

According to the principle of leave no trace, you should ideally stick to the already established trails. The parks in my region all require visitors to stay in the trails, and camp in designated sites unless it's the back country. It's kind of difficult to do something like this in the real world without being kind of a jerk.

Also, life is discriminatory and we have evolved a fucked up way of socially distancing ourselves from people that society considers eccentric.

So even if I understand the message, it also makes me think about how doing something like this can often be hard and isolating.

Teddy Roosevelt used to hike in straight lines, and whatever you encountered, you had to navigate. Mountains, rivers, whatever.

"Recharge" and "have fun" are often the same path.
