thank you for the wonderful story!
My favorite lake, and my favorite lean-to!
Ditto Mark! In fact, our family is in camp as we speak. Headed back in there today after making a trip out to get the tools to triage a deep, ugly graffiti scar recently gouged into the deacon’s log over Memorial Day weekend by someone who apparently calls themselves “DAVIES”. Look for the details in a new piece I just submitted to Melissa; “Scarred Cedar Logs”. Have a great summer!
It really torques me that people deface “our” woods!
Let’s drop them into a hot LZ
Thanks, Dick,
I enjoyed your story because I was born in 1937 and, some years ago, my wife and I stayed at the Bull Rush Bay Lean-to. We have also visited the Martha Ruben Lean-to and read the plaque on the tree. Sorry to hear it is not there anymore. After visiting the lean-to, I read her book. Quite a story.
Thank you, Alan. I keep a copy of Martha Reben’s “The Healing Woods” on the end table next to the recliner in my den. I feel a kindred spirit bond with her journey. We both found our healing Zen on those woods & waters and wrote about it.
