We are 74, married 52 years. Our anniversary trip.
Most of our time was spent on deck with view of the river, just watching the skies, the variety of landscapes and conversing with each other. No company, not even a sighting of another person. Nobody “floated by” either. Family of Deer, one coyote, eagles, ducks. We took two hikes; one day to the west from shore up and back north to the top. It was a rugged steep hike up the hills on the property to great heights and views. Another day to the east, on the property along And also away from the river, more gentle slopes, lovely views. Later, in the river, we dog paddled around and around the swimming hole, laughing with exhilaration at our ability to tolerate the cool waters - Refreshing! Beach booties and crocks were both helpful for in water and dry pair at shore at exit point. Towels were left waiting on shore. Our last night was filled with stars, a few shooting stars, and satellites. 2 hours lying on our backs on the picnic table in sweatshirts and pants. The Wind came and went, low-roaring through the trees, strong gusts, soft breezes and eerie stillness in between. Although the very distant sound of traffic from the highway reached our ears in the day, there were times, in the night, when the silence was overwhelming. Loved Being Here!
