June 24-25, 2013 RAK at Campground

“Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”

John Muir Buck Pond, NY The past two days were spent camping in the quiet woods next to a beautiful lake with the loons crying their haunting call. The peacefulness, the tranquility, the solitude make it easy to relax and unwind from the daily grind. Possibilities for random acts of kindness are abundant. There were scraps of litter to collect, returnable bottles to deposit in a wooden box for a scholarship fund, and extra firewood to leave for the next camper at our site. I also paid it forward at the antiques/wood/ice/ beverage store on the corner beside the tiny cluster of homes near the campground. I asked the clerk to tell the next firewood customer that their wood had been purchased. She enjoyed assisting with this plan. Go explore nature; you will return feeling refreshed.
