Sunday we set out to go somewhere new. Having gotten a late start we decided to visit a nearby town, and see if there was something interesting there to see. And discovered there honestly, really wasn't.
It is a small, economically depressed town with few businesses, and we didn't feel inspired to stop. So we did an about face and started down a country road toward another small town, and hoped for better luck in this direction.
We drove for about twenty minutes with no sign of a town, or much sign of human presence. We passed several managed forests, and were amazed at how large some of these trees planted fifteen to twenty years ago had grown. And then we came around a curve in the road and a surreal vision of white, floating fog appeared on the right. It took a minute to realize that it was a lake. We quickly made plans to return with our kayak in the summer and explore.
And that's what happens sometimes when you take a road to nowhere. You stumble upon something unexpected.

I like finding unexpected lakes too.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the town you were visiting? We just drove through one that not only looked depressed, it freaked us out. We're going to head back later (hopefully in the evening) and scare the heck out of ourselves.
