Here’s the Appalachian wilderness where I grew up, that was my playground, and where my parents still live today. I used to get up very early in the morning and hike through the woods back to that pond you see in the picture, arriving just about the time the sun had risen, to fish for a few hours and then spend the last hour skipping rocks, before hiking back home through the woods in the early afternoon, starving for dinner.
I hope y’all are enjoying your days off with good friends and good food! Enjoy!
