What I like most about my area is the abundance of water. The lakes are not large but good fishing, beauty enough to share...peacefulness on the shore when needed or just to spend a few lazy hours.   This is a bridge to the south side of town. The city is small but convenient to most anything we need.  This is not a recent photo but little has changed..the next one will be fresh.  The lake shown is river at this point, cold water and up stream from here is good trout fishing.  Years ago before a dam some miles downstream, mussel fishing provided lovely freshwater pearls and mother of pearl for a button factory.  That all ended with changing water conditions.  One of the best venues for rowing (as in crew) is about 9 miles away with a wonderful course hosting local, regional and major events.  A small town with great city services and friendly folks...I call this home since the early 80's.
