What I have noticed is if you stay busy.......put in long hard days you are apt to be less (if at all!) lonely. Plus there is a supremely satisfying feeling of accomplishment when all is said and done. As in........Wow, what a trip!

I agree, a "goal" whatever that my be is always worthwhile. I think anyone embarking on their first solo after tripping with others will find out rather quickly how fast time flies and how tired you can get when your carrying the whole load.
I think being 'Lonely" is something you'll find out the first few nights alone. Good to have a bailout plan just incase you really can't stand those little voices in your head. ;D
