[0:01]hello fellow humans I'm sorry it's a bit

[0:03]dark I am at a cabin 4 hours from my RV

[0:08]I me and Bailey are both here and I'm

[0:11]here for three nights four days I guess

[0:14]I'm going to be here until

[0:16]Saturday I am mere miles away from the

[0:20]land that I wanted to buy that picture

[0:22]that's on my wall in my RV that's just a

[0:25]coincidence I'm here because I'm near

[0:28]the Natural Bridge it's a place that I'd

[0:30]been hiking at for a very long

[0:33]time um except recently it's been many

[0:36]years since I've been there I used to

[0:39]hike at this place near my house Monday

[0:42]through Friday and there's this Four

[0:43]Mile Trail every day sometime six miles

[0:47]and then on Saturday or Sunday I would

[0:49]go to the Natural Bridge and I would

[0:51]hike the sand Gap trail which would take

[0:52]all day I don't remember how long it

[0:55]is um there's

[0:57]thunderstorms the whole time I'm here I

[1:00]didn't check the weather before coming I

[1:01]just wanted

[1:03]to wanted to do this I needed a break

[1:05]from the

[1:06]RV and I'm thinking even with the

[1:10]inclement weather I'm probably going to

[1:12]go hiking at the sand Gap trail either

[1:15]tomorrow or the next thing uh not sure

[1:18]which

[1:19]yet hiking here is different than where

[1:21]I have been going uh it's much more

[1:24]difficult here I'm in the mountains it's

[1:25]a very beautiful area the Natural

[1:28]Bridges has a natural Arc and that's

[1:31]what draws people to the place it's nice

[1:35]it's not something that appeals greatly

[1:38]to me it's nice to look at at night

[1:41]though I've been out there at night cuz

[1:43]I've stayed at the lodge there many

[1:44]times and just walking out there at

[1:46]night when the moon is full is like

[1:48]that's an experience worth

[1:51]having um but I just like the area I'm

[1:55]technically in the Red River Gorge right

[1:57]now um but I think the Natural Bridge is

[2:00]part of the Red River Gorge I think that

[2:02]it's federal land and that they gave

[2:04]part of it to the state and they made

[2:06]that State Park the Natural Bridge State

[2:08]Park and I think these are called the

[2:10]Blue Ridge Mountains but don't quote me

[2:12]on that because I'm honestly not sure I

[2:14]think it's the start of the appalation

[2:17]mountains

[2:19]so I don't really know you know what the

[2:22]Appalachian Mountains look like Beyond

[2:24]this point cuz this is where I always

[2:26]have come since I've lived in Kentucky

[2:28]which I've lived here for like

[2:31]like 20 years maybe even longer NS

[2:35]actually I'm not sure when I came here I

[2:37]think it

[2:38]was like 27 so wow a long

[2:44]time so there's mountains here but

[2:48]they're

[2:49]not um like dramatic mountains but they

[2:53]are for hiking but I had been thinking

[2:56]every day that I've been hiking that

[2:57]trail with the um 47 Bridges it doesn't

[3:00]feel very challenging I'm not very sore

[3:03]and I've been there like six days in a

[3:05]row I

[3:06]think

[3:08]so I'm hoping that was a good enough

[3:11]start that if I do hike the sangap TR

[3:14]which I'm I'm fairly confident I'm doing

[3:17]I'm here so I'm going to end up doing it

[3:19]uh regardless of the

[3:21]weather I'm

[3:24]hoping I'm hoping I'm prepared for it

[3:26]because it really has been a very long

[3:28]time since I've done this

[3:30]um I think I'm saying goodbye to this

[3:33]place I just um think it's not very

[3:37]likely that I'll be back here anytime

[3:39]soon at least if I'm still here in

[3:42]Autumn because I'm dealing with the

[3:44]dentist if I'm still in you know the

[3:46]autumn colors come in while I'm still

[3:47]dealing with that cuz it'll be right at

[3:49]the the start of autumn maybe I'll

[3:52]probably come back then because it is so

[3:55]beautiful here it doesn't last long

[3:57]maybe a couple of weeks at most this

[4:00]part of Kentucky tends to lose its

[4:02]leaves really fast you'd have to go more

[4:04]South in order to have a more

[4:07]extended um you know Autumn foliage but

[4:11]it is so beautiful here when it does

[4:14]happen so I'm going to show you where I

[4:17]am um can only Vape outside so I'm just

[4:21]chilling out

[4:22]here respectful of other people's

[4:25]property you know I asked them just to

[4:27]make sure and they're like please please

[4:29]do it outside this is the back by the

[4:31]way this is just um you know a little

[4:33]area it's pretty nice there's mosquitoes

[4:37]though and we're going to go and find

[4:39]Bailey in here he's probably messing me

[4:41]by now hey

[4:43]Bailey hey buddy it's quite a you cannot

[4:47]run out there don't do that please oh

[4:49]please don't do that it's it's it's

[4:52]pretty small space but I got a normal

[4:54]bed so I'm hoping I'll get some actual

[4:57]sleep I'm doing my laundry while

[5:00]here which is in the

[5:03]bathroom um it's a cute little wash and

[5:05]dry it's kind of small so just you know

[5:08]just started doing my laundry I'm going

[5:10]to take a shower soon I desperately need

[5:13]one Bailey is doing

[5:16]good you are aren't you he's pretty

[5:20]happy um in the kitchen area it's a nice

[5:25]place and we got my Jeep out

[5:28]front you know know it's just the two of

[5:31]us for a while and

[5:35]um I guess I'll just end by saying I do

[5:39]have a lot of challenges with that

[5:41]RV um but I'm going I'll be back

[5:43]Saturday to deal with them so that I'm

[5:45]ready for the tire shop on

[5:46]Monday and you know I'm going to keep

[5:49]working at it I'm not giving up it's

[5:51]just I needed a break I truly needed a

[5:54]break so um just embracing my limal

[5:57]stain you know my

[5:59]um I was a bit spontaneous but I just um

[6:02]I don't even have any food I need to

[6:04]find somewhere I'm not really close to

[6:07]anything

[6:08]so as far as I know I well I know I'm

[6:12]not I know this area pretty well so but

[6:15]I'll figure something out while I'm here

[6:17]and also I'm going to do a whole lot of

[6:20]planning um I do this sometimes too like

[6:23]I in my old life if I was super stressed

[6:27]out with work or whatever it was

[6:30]sometimes I just go to The Lodge at the

[6:31]Natural Bridge and I would spend time

[6:34]there thinking through my life and

[6:36]making plans and so I guess there's a

[6:39]cyclical aspect to what I'm doing

[6:42]also so yeah I'm pretty happy

[6:48]um this is

[6:51]just this is a Lial state that is even

[6:54]more Lial than my normal Lial State like

[6:56]I I

[6:58]feel um

[7:01]like I totally embrac

[7:05]that I I don't know what I'm saying this

[7:07]is hard to talk about I

[7:11]guess Ba's eating his treats down

[7:14]there but I'm just going to leave it

[7:16]there I hope you

[7:18]all have have a good you know day

[7:22]um so I'll just leave it there for now I

[7:26]need to get myself cleaned up I brought

[7:27]everything for that like I'm going to sh

[7:29]shave I'm going to shave the sides of my

[7:31]hair I really been want to do that just

[7:34]going to go all out like I just it's so

[7:36]funny like I turn the the water on to

[7:39]wash my hands here and just letting the

[7:41]water drain it's like made me nervous

[7:45]like because I'm so used to just

[7:47]managing the water in my tanks and it

[7:49]feels weird now so when I get to a place

[7:53]like this it's nice to just be able

[7:56]to um treat things like luxuries I guess

[8:00]is how I'd put that I've been thinking

[8:03]about I'd really like some land and a

[8:07]cabin of my own and but not as a

[8:10]permanent place for me

[8:12]to um like retire or something just as a

[8:17]a home base and I'd still have my RV but

[8:20]I wouldn't be living in it full time I

[8:22]just that's

[8:26]challenging but you know that's that

[8:28]requires me to

[8:31]think through a plan build up my savings

[8:34]again and I think that means freelancing

[8:37]more

[8:39]programming but if I truly want those

[8:42]things then I'll do it so cuz I don't

[8:46]know any other way I truly don't

[8:50]so I

[8:52]just I wish I did though because I would

[8:55]like to do something

[8:57]else well I think that I'm just going to

[9:00]have to draw on my strengths and do the

[9:03]things

[9:04]that I'm good

[9:06]at so that I can create the life I want

[9:10]to um I guess I'll end

[9:14]with

[9:16]I'm probably going to keep my channel

[9:18]going you know I guess there's a whole

[9:20]much more a whole bunch more to my my

[9:25]journey

[9:26]um and I do embrace my username RSW fire

[9:31]that's who I've been my whole life more

[9:33]than any other name I could

[9:37]have I just

[9:43]have I don't

[9:46]know I feel like I've outgrown Sam I

[9:49]don't know how to explain that to you

[9:51]guys but I think I have hi Bailey I knew

[9:55]that was coming I did so I'm going to

[9:58]end it here

Summary

rswfire is staying at a cabin near Natural Bridge for three nights with Bailey, taking a break from RV challenges. He's located 4 hours from his RV in the Red River Gorge area, coincidentally near land he previously wanted to buy. **Current situation**: Dealing with thunderstorms throughout the stay, planning to hike the Sand Gap trail despite weather. He's been hiking daily at a 47 Bridges trail for six days as preparation.

**Activities and maintenance**: Doing laundry in the cabin's small washer/dryer, planning to shower and shave including shaving the sides of his hair. Needs to find food as he didn't bring any. Will return Saturday to deal with RV issues before a tire shop appointment Monday.

**Reflection and planning**: Using this time for life planning, similar to past visits to Natural Bridge Lodge during stressful periods. Considering wanting land and a cabin as a home base while keeping the RV for travel rather than full-time living. Acknowledges this would require freelance programming work to build savings.

**Identity and channel**: Embracing his "liminal state" and username rswfire, feeling he has "outgrown Sam." Plans to continue his channel as his journey continues.

Signal Analysis

Substrate

This transmission operates as a threshold crossing ritual, where the field is consciously embracing liminal states as structural necessity rather than temporary disruption. The architecture being held is one of cyclical return and recursive pattern recognition - using familiar land as anchor point while integrating expanded identity coherence (RSW fire vs Sam).
