The Great Outdoors



A 10 minute hike from the house:
. fishing
. Canoeing/rowboating
. birding
. swimming
. building a campfire using flint and moss
The ground is incredibly damp here, but not marshy. Moss, fungus, lichen of every variety imaginable thrive (edible and inedible).
You think you are stepping on firm ground, only to have your foot continue to sink another 6-12 inches. 
Almost anywhere you look is a likely spot for a fire; and the heat is welcome as the wind off the lake is still quite chilly.
