| This photograph was taken in 2000. The water was particularly low during this period. You can see a little 'island' off in the distance. Though I have only set foot on the island twice in my life, once on a raft, once by boat, I have a great time between the two locations. It's a great first date idea. I've been here with a lot of friends over the years - from 'after work' swims during my high school years to 'chillin' with Matt Hicks and the boys during the summers... and of course there's times when I just go by myself. I feel especially close to God here. I can't really explain why, but I do. Whenever I leave this place, I always feel more energized and positive about what all is going on around me. I'm sure that everyone needs a quiet place that they can go and think... for some its a park, for others a library, but for me, it's the lake. |
