"providential"
Where did you get that word? I haven't seen it or used it since Junior High School and that was a very long time ago.
I appreciate the honestly of your RR. Pain, suffering from the elements, insecurity, and periods of loneliness are integral parts of any solo MC trip as well as the panaceas of talking to anyone you meet who will listen to you, accepting kindness from strangers, hot springs, and brew pubs.
