Paddlewisers ... I think it was Yogi Berra who said, "It's so crowded nobody goes there anymore !" That's been a fairly appropriate summary of my woods and water passage since back in the mid-60's. Paddling, camping, and hiking has always been a journey for me. Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas ...special places turn into parking lots, so I break camp and move on. Other special places are found and last for various lengths of time. While I may not like "moving on", I am always rewarded with a sense of searching, and the satisfaction of finding another "special place". So far I always manage to have an enjoyable time, and find what I'm looking for. My choice of destination mostly depends on the time of year and the associated activity. I have special spots for paddling year round, for fishing, for camping, for hiking, and occasionally, for hunting. Sometimes I may join a larger base camp of friends, old and new. Other times I may be far, far from anyone. While my special places may not be pristine, it doesn't take 3 days to reach them either. They are accessible and some are really only a bit of a crook off the beaten path. Perhaps, Yogi knew all along that it would come to this ..."it's so crowded nobody goes there anymore !" ...adieu ...Peyton (Louisiana) ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
