My Favorite Spa


I enjoyed this last weekend with good friends at the most unique vacation spot on earth. It's a 6 mile trek through the backcountry to a primetime destination smack dab on the border with Canada. My secret abandoned shack lies right on the river demarcating the northern extreme of our country, and I have literally tossed a rock out of the lower 48 from the front door. The peace and quiet is unsurpassed as are the stars, and the endless terrain to explore is rich in history and beauty. Don't worry, we're not breaking and entering. The powers that be are aware of this, and could you pass up an opportunity to burn wood in this woodstove? This year our supply of firewood reached halfway up the window. Plenty of heat for candlelight reading.

The canyon you see to the right is about a hundred feet deep. The pictures are a couple years old, and this year we were able to journey down onto the frozen river in the spot shown. There was an amazing turquoise frozen waterfall we walked behind believe it or not. The picture does it no justice as it was captured from a distance. On the left is Canada, and the right is the United States. The trees on the edge of the cliff are actually a pretty nice size.

Never stop adventuring into the many works of creation, of which only some are landscape, and into knowledge of the creator Himself.
