"Never give up and good luck will find you"

~Falcor- Never Ending Story~

 

I took this picture one day when I was going to meet up with Jeff.

I always loved the first leaf's of spring,

They have this lime green color and the tree bark is getting dark.

 

You have this amazing feeling driving through these woods,

The land is rough and wild and seems so untouched.

But 40 years ago houses could be found in these woods,

Towns existed and people had lives here.

 

Then our government decided to build a dam,

And flood all this amazing land.

But true American stubbornness won out.

And even though many families sold out and moved,

Some held on and got to keep their land.

 

Now it is a combination of private, state and federal protected land.

Land for us to hike on, fish on, and hunt on.

And as you wander through the woods,

You come across someone's home.
