A NICE PLACE TO VISIT


I'm thinking now that my government rebate, when it finally comes, will likely go to that weeks grocery order and filling my gas tank. In short, I don't expect it to go very far. Nor do I expect to be going very far on vacation. So, I'm taking to exploring places closer to home.

Not exactly a vacation spot but certainly a stop is a place called Little Rocky Glen just off Lithia Valley road outside Factoryville. I thought it time I paid a visit.

It's a nice place, one used in simpler times for recreation when folks didn't need all the bells and whistles we now see as a necessity for a successful vacation.

There is a high trail that goes uphill for a little bit before going back down to the creek then you can go back upstream to where your car is parked. It's a bit tricky getting around and you ought to be careful, nature is not always neat and tidy but it is always interesting. I'm not sure I'd take toddlers here but I did see kids maybe ten years old.
In any event, it's a nice little place to spend an hour or two just watching the water go by or the birds coming in. A marvelous little getaway from a world where there never seems to be enough money to go around no matter how hard we try.
