Somewhere on the road less traveled

I am a 34 year old who recently retired, sold my home and possessions and bought an RV so I can travel America. Please come along on my adventure by following me here. Enjoy.

Spent three wonderful days at Umbagog Lake...

That magical time of day.
When the wind dies,
And the water becomes a mirror.
As the reds ands oranges of sunset,
Become pinks, tangerines and purples.
Fading at last to night.
I am still and quiet, and content.
...Well I am back in civilization again for a few days anyway. Planning on heading over to Nova Scotia here sometime this week. Totally enjoyed New Hampshire. I hiked Thursday for about six hours at Bear Brook State Park and then Saturday I kayaked for four around Lake Umbagog. The rest of the time I did a lot of nothing. Read some books and looked at the lake and just relaxed. Sunday night I sat for about 2 hours as the sun set across the lake and just watched. It was so entrancing to listen to the loons and see the clouds changing shape and color. I am no poet but I do sometimes write poetry, which not too many people know. The words above just came to me over the two hours so I thought I would share them with you all. Not sure where I am going to spend the next couple of days but I will let you all know before I get on the boat. Take care, Jim
