Come and take a walk with me through this green and growing land

Walk through the meadows and the mountains and the sand

Walk through the valleys and the rivers and the plains

Walk through the sun and walk through the rain

 

 

Here is a land full of power and glory

Beauty that words cannot recall

Oh, her power shall rest on the strength of her freedom

Glory shall rest on us all, on us all

 

 

Phil Ochs - The Power & The Glory

The favorite song of Camp

Wapalanne campers... regardless of what year they attended camp! Inspiring me to take a walk today...

 

It was 85 degrees this afternoon and I had to go into Chester, so I decided to take a walk by the Cooper Grist Mill.

It seemed like a good time to kick off my shoes and sit on a rock in the Black River and just relax for awhile. I

thought the water would be a lot colder, but it wasn’t bad at all. I sat there for awhile and then decided to

get up and head home. As I went to stand up, I slipped and slid down the rock and wound up sitting in the river...

Some days it’s just so good to be by myself so that no one sees me do these things.... also the reason that I

always carry a change of clothes in my car ( I didn’t need them this time because I was just headed home anyway).

Dayna and I pulled into the driveway about the same time, and she gave me quite a look when I got out of the car, with

my pants, wet, muddy and grass stained from sliding down the moss covered rock. She doesn’t even bother to ask anymore....

 

I also found a great fallen tree that completely crosses the river at one point and I couldn’t help but look at it and wonder how

many people would fit on that tree... and how many people I can talk into going out there with me...

with my camera in the river.... remote shutter release.... oh, yes.... stay tuned!!
