General Discussion

I went back in summer '98 for a work camp mission trip and stayed in a classroom of a high school there. Honestly one of the prettiest landscapes I'd ever seen. I guess that depends on who you are. I was partnered with a group of strangers for a week to work on a man's house (whom I forget his name). Was honored to be there and hopefully get to know him. It was apparent he suffered from alcohol addiction but was otherwise pretty nice. He had a long smooth tree limb hanging from his front porch and someone asked if it represented anything. The man responded "To hang the white men from." I remember just sort of chuckling about it. Because otherwise, he didn't seem threatening at all. Who knows. I still have very lovely memories of this place. Even with all it's thorns. I was a teenager then. I wonder how I might find now. Would be awesome to visit again.
