Today we rode for a while by a beautiful Colorado River, I believe the Lower Arkansas (pronounced Ar-Kansas, I think). Anyway it was gorgeous, and we stopped for a bit and dipped our toesies in. Some people really love mountains - and I do, too. Others love the plains, or tundra, or the beach. For me, I think rivers are the best nature has to offer. I like the ocean, for example, but because I love to swim, freshwater always has the edge. There's something about a cold mountain stream with rocks and cliffs and trees that's not only photogenic but also really fun. The water always makes me feel safe and at peace.
We've moved from the real boonies to the fake ones; it feels remote out here but it's actually very touristy at the same time, and kind of expensive.
