Thank you Kate. I am originally from Ridgway, a bit Northeast of Cook Forest. When I was young all I longed for was to be away from the trees and furry woodland creatures. Now after not having spent a summer day in Pennsylvania in over 10 years, I am happy to say I will be a "tourist" once again in in about a week. I am going to be taking a canoe from Ridgway to Cook Forest. I will be teaching my girlfriend the art of fly fishing and how to stand in a canoe. I am sure a lot has changed but most of the changes have occurred in myself for sure. With any luck at all I will be able to regain a bit of myself that has been lost. I have lived in Tampa for too long and Florida for way too long. My girlfriend has only lived in Florida and desires more. I am hoping the 4 days on the River and 5 days in the forest will sell her completely on the idea of "goin country". You cannot possibly imagine how happy I would be to hear "let's get a cabin and live here." Here's to you and here's to hoping going Thoreau is a possibility of the future.

Where are you from? I just saw your comments on Cook Forest, and then laughed when I kept browsing to find "Simplify your life". I laugh because I am originally from Erie, PA and lived in Pgh, NYC, and many other smaller towns inbetween. When my company wanted me to relocate to Clarion (20 miles from here), I decided to make it an "adventure" and bought a cabin in Cook Forest. That lasted about a year until the co. moved me back to Pgh., but I had fallen in love with the trees and peace here, and kept my cabin. Four years ago, I decided to "Simplify my life" and moved back here, and have seriously been doing the "female Thoreau". Sort of. It's definately a love/hate relationship (like having sisters), but love always wins. My advice: drop me a line before you commit to going Thoreau. I'd be happy to share my experience. Best wishes on your life adventure. Lynne PS If I don't get back to you right away, I've gone for milk or chocolate.... Hi, Kate. Where are you from?
