Long walk off a short pier

· · 🌡️ 71°F

Took a stroll with the youngins to a largely unspoiled spot in the middle of spoiled yesterday. Went to 3 sisters island in the falls. We drove up and parked in the northern Goat Island parking lot where since it is after Labor Day, there was no College freshman to college my eight dollar parking fee. When you get out of the car there is a path right there that takes you along the river's edge. What I like about three sisters is that the parks people connected the islands for foot traffic and stopped. No souvenir stands, just unspoiled evolution. Doesn't mean you can't see the spoilage, just that you have a little room

One of them spiritually refreshing days, we walked down to the gorge's edge. That's my guys running the viewfinders. The walk back was good. I felt centered again and my legs were abuzz with just the right amount of exercise that I wouldn't make a noise each time I stood up today.

Nice day.

    Sounds like a vry nice day! I largely avoid many of my favorite places during the summer months as they feel different with so many extra people and other tourist conveniences.

    This time of year: perfect. You have it (mostly) all to yourself.

    Nice pictures; now I want to go! Good choice on Goat Island- I'm sure it added a nice memory to your kiddos collection of time spent with dad. There are some nice spots to get lost in out there as well.

    Feeling centered is a wonderful thing; being around water and green space usually does it for me.

    The some of the greatest memories of my Grandfather is doing the exact same thing that you did and the places you went in those pictures.

    I love the second island the pic 4th one down I think? Roaming through the woods on that island is always a good time.

    Always a bit of a spiritual uplifting place if you catch it at the right time of year as you obviously did.
