in April and May I paid two short visits to the Yosemite region and came home with this disorder I'll call "mountain misery," which is also the name of a plant whose summer fragrance permeates the air at Berkeley Tuolumne Camp and characterizes the sweet fresh air of so many areas in the California Sierra mountains. in this case, the 'misery' refers to an increased longing to spend all my time in those great outdoors and the withdrawal I tend to undergo when returning to "real life" (which at the time included substitute teaching evermore antsy and impatient high school students)... in the end, it's still worth it! I plan to go camping as much as possible this summer– get my money's worth out of a year-long Yosemite pass!
