Just Me, My Dog, and a Feeling I Couldn't Shake

I set out for a simple two-night solo camping trip in the heart of Davy Crockett National Forest—just me, my dog Bailey, and a chance to unwind.

The plan? Explore a few new backroads, check out the Holly Bluff Camp area, grill some hotdogs over the fire, and soak in the stillness of East Texas.

But the deeper we got into the woods… the more the vibe began to shift.

First, a downed tree blocked the road. Then a couple of unexpected visitors showed up at camp. Later, a forest agent pulled in asking some unusual questions.

Nothing dramatic. No big confrontation. Just a feeling I couldn’t quite shake.

Sometimes, the peace you come looking for doesn’t quite show up.
And sometimes, your gut tells you what your eyes can’t see.

Thanks for watching this one—it means a lot.
