Surviving the masses and mentalities in Southern California is way more difficult for me than anything in the backcountry. Advice welcome!!
Almost comical, isn't it? I call it gallows humor. Anyway, I am living in prime wilderness country going to school myself, mostly to just kill time and await the storm. Less than 2 years. We shall see.
I hope you succeed! In not just the moving, which I feel is an absolute, but also in the medical field... This country needs good people, desperately!
