Travel

How did you travel in 2010? How and/or where would you like to travel next year?

How? By car, and by foot. :p

Okay, serious answer. I spent 2010 doing a lot of local exploration. Going out to YAL in my county, finding the cool waterfalls, winding my way through dirt packed trails to find yet another route to try fulfill my goals of 6 miles of hiking a week. We've gone up to Baker Lake, Mount Baker, Nooksack Falls, Silver Lake, Lake Whatcom, Chuckanut Mountain, Teddy Bear Cove, road tripped all along 542, 20, 9, and a bunch of little back roads that I can't remember the names of. We've gone down to Seattle a couple times, gone to Roslyn, spent snowy winter days in Leavenworth, gone to see Snoqualmie Falls, and the little diner from Twin Peaks. By myself, I've hiked through the Fraser Woods, and along Whatcom Creek, and through the marsh between the two.

It may not be "travel", as such, to some people. But for me, it is. And I'm continuing it this year. I always will. I love exploring, and there's so much to explore right out my back door, that I don't need to go on huge trips to "travel".

That said, I'll probably be heading home to NY for a week or so this summer. And I want to go see friends and loved ones in other places as well. Whether or not I can afford to, I don't know. But I'm going to try.
