I am a Pacific Northwest native transplanted to the southeast for 36 years. In 2012, I returned to my childhood home and fell in love with this corner of the country again. I am a grandmother, a storywriter, a teacher, an attention payer, a hiker, and a back roads wanderer.

Writing Down the Story 
I like how the natural lighting highlights the trees! Did you camp at the lake? It’s one of my favorite places to camp. So many nearby places to go from there.

I did camp at the lake. I was dismayed by the highway noise (logging truck every couple minutes, starting at 4:30am), but I wanted a site by the lake. It was probably quieter in the back. I went to Marymere Falls, but otherwise stayed at my campsite writing. It was beautiful. And then I came home to the quiet!
