Its only campsite, Troytown, couldn't be in a more remote position. Isolation is its greatest advantage - so bring plenty of books to read and don't expect a phone signal.

To a large degree,the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. In spite of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you
are-always!
Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic (神经兮兮的)art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things-all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the other hand, we also delay our happiness, often convincing ourselves that "someday" will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look foward to the future will only repeat themselves so that "someday" never actually arrives. John Lennon once said,"Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans. " When we are busy making " other plans" ,our children are busy growing up,the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.
Many people live as if life were dress rehearsal for some late date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have,and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future-we won't have enough money,our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.
To combat fear,the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said, "I have been through some terrible things in my life,some of which actually happened." I don't think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on here and now. Your efforts will pay off.
