Kaylan Goes West

Jemez Falls Area

These are some pictures of us around the campgrounds at Jemez falls... my camera died before we got to the falls so unfortunately there are no pics of the falls :( But it was a really nice place to camp and hike around.

I'm starting to like this whole camping thing

Why I am starting to like living in the Jeep and this whole camping thing....

1. I can wear the same outfit for multiple days in a row. Now let me explain why this is a plus. I always used to worry each day about what I was going to wear and wasting money on millions of different outfits... and for what? Does it really matter what you wear? I have a closet full of clothes I never ever touch - when I get home I am going to take half of the junk I have to Goodwill! Also, there isnt as much laundry and I hate doing laundry.

2. I hardly ever take a shower! And you might think, "Ewwww, gross Kaylan that is disgusting!" But really it isnt that bad. I am not wasting gallons of water because I may have sat at work all day and am not really dirty. I even think my hair is starting to look healthier! haha And do not worry I do brush my teeth every day.

3. I am eating healthier meals. Fruits and vegetables are my new best friends. You cant find DrPepper in the woods and I am still DrPepper free. I think I may have lost 5 pounds just in the last two months! And no more headaches if I do not have my caffeine fix.

4. Exercising! Hiking, running, swimming, and climbing all keep you fit and having fun!

5. Realizing what matters. Nature, being happy & healthy, spending time with old friends and making new ones. Conservation. Living Simply.

Now lets see if i can continue this when I am no longer living out of a Jeep ;)
