Monday — never an easy time for the outdoors enthusiast. After a weekend of adventure, returning to the humdrum work-a-day world can make one melancholy. To help ease the transition, every Monday we feature a 90 Second Escape — essentially, a 90-second video or slide show of a place you’d probably rather be: a trail, a park, a greenway, a lake … anywhere as long as it’s not under a fluorescent bulb.
Today’s 90-Second Escape: The Campfire
Saturday night, at the Murray Branch primitive campsite deep in South Mountains State Park, we stood around this campfire wondering just how long man/woman have been standing around campfires.
A long time, we concluded. And we probably will continue to for a long time to come. Why? To keep warm, certainly. To heat a little mastodon/T-bone as well. But why, after we’ve warded off the chill and picked the bone clean do we continue to stand around and stare into its flickering midst?
Beats us. Watch our campfire for 90 seconds and see if an answer comes to you.
