But further down the rivers, you would love it!<br /><br />Ratty: Some people own camps wayyy out in the wilderness and spend a lot of time away from civilization...sometimes even in the dead of winter! I don't know if they bring their supplies in for the entire winter or what...or maybe they take a snowmobile into town for supplies a few times a month. That is a little too desolate for me. ha But they have some beautiful places way out in nowhere.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-86999004110599035622009-10-30T14:55:27.402-04:002009-10-30T14:55:27.402-04:00I would love to find a place like this away from e...I would love to find a place like this away from everything.

Those rocks have had a lot of history carved into them from the years and years of water rushing past them.<br /><br />Keats: We sure did! Since we went to more than one waterfall that day and they were all high and rushing and wonderful, it was one of our best hikes. See some upcoming blog posts for more photos. <br /><br />Maniacal: It was such a rush being there, too. Thanks!<br /><br />Lesley: You could live up here for spring, summer and fall and then go south for winter, like a lot of the "snowbirds" here. We only leave here for about 3 weeks in the winter, but if I could afford it, I think I would leave for about 2 months. But I LOVE it here the rest of the year so much!<br /><br />Growing up: Three words back: Thanks SO much! :-}<br /><br />Bernie: Thanks! Because the colors were going fast and we knew the waterfalls would be at their highest, we decided to brave the weather...and when we got out there, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...and then we saw those rushing waterfalls, and we forgot it was even raining out. ha<br /><br />Catherine: Yes, I love where we live exactly for our nature and being so close to the woods, lakes and rivers. Only our winters are very long and very cold..so usually around Jan. or Feb. we take one or two trips to someplace WARM to make it through the winter without getting too depressed. ha But the rest of the seasons are glorious here. Even our winters are gorgeous, but I am a wimp about the cold and snow.<br /><br />Squirrelqueen: Who knew there were so many suicidal people? ha<br /><br />Ashley: It was wonderful, thanks! Even though it was chilly and drizzling outside, we had a great time.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-84188187108740514742009-10-30T09:40:29.514-04:002009-10-30T09:40:29.514-04:00I love the part of our country in which you live a...I love the part of our country in which you live and share your awesome photos with us all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813508472498593787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-64552196391727672782009-10-30T09:16:06.059-04:002009-10-30T09:16:06.059-04:00Wow!
