They all allow me to find my own way, by myself, without too much demand for socializing outside that group. Hiking/driving an old or new out-of-the-way track up in the trees or out in the desert - it doesn’t matter - it’s my very own Church of the Solitary. Those trails, vistas and hidey holes are holier yet by the fewer folks I might come across. That lucky path became evident many years ago and damn, am I ever thankful for it.
