I have been practically off grid for the last week. I say practically because if I walk down to the edge of the lake, I might get a 4G signal and send a few texts/photos to family. Or if I camp outside the Plumas Pines Resort store for an hour I might be able to download a few episodes of Parks and Rec or The Office that I can watch on my phone while I’m embroidering quilt squares in the evenings.
I could live in the woods off grid with minimal comforts and would be happy to pee in the woods, but no WiFi/internet would be a deal breaker. My hierarchy of needs might be a bit backwards from most. I think because I love reading and researching and having the world’s largest database a click away is too wonderful to give up.
But lake life has been wonderful and relaxing. Days spent on the (cold) water’s edge, watching the kids try and fish. Some jet skiing, lots of games with the grandparents (that’s when I craft), and good food.
I’m going to post this as is and then have a separate post with photos, because I have very little faith in the WiFi. Calvin comes tomorrow and the fun continues for another week.
