My fortress of solitude

That's what I like to call Colby Ranch in the Angeles Forest. It's where my church holds it's yearly Jr. High camp for a week at the end of July. That place literally rejuvenates my soul. I feel so much better coming down from there than I do when I usually go up. Even though I didn't get to explore as much as I would have liked to this weekend, just being there does me good and I get to go back in a couple of weeks which is nice. Hopefully, I won't need the retreat nearly as much as I needed this one, but it will be a welcome break from my everyday life because it always is.
