Get away from your daily habits and stressors. Even just 2 days out and you might even see a big change, go with it. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/06-2528-post\/joshua-tree-wilderness_0046.jpg\" alt=\"joshua-tree-wilderness_0046\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/>The best way I have found to really get away and get some good solid nights of solitude is to hike out into a designated wilderness area. Get yourself few miles in and you may be the only person willing to make that extra effort and thus get the entire place to yourself. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2532\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/06-2528-post\/joshua-tree-wilderness_0128.jpg\" alt=\"joshua-tree-wilderness_0128\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/>Make sure to bring the appropriate equipment for wherever you end up&#8230;but don&#8217;t take too much &#8211; it&#8217;ll just slow you down. Out here in the desert all I really needed (but did bring more) was a sleeping pad and bag, some grub, and about a gallon of water per day out. That&#8217;s as minimal as you can get and it would allow me to hike even deeper into the desert. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/06-2528-post\/joshua-tree-wilderness_0138.jpg\" alt=\"joshua-tree-wilderness_0138\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every cowboy needs a few moments to collect his thoughts.
