Something I've learned about myself recently is that I enjoy being in the outdoors quite a bit more than I thought even just 4 years ago. I really like hiking. I like being able to stop and look around where I am and of course, take lots of pictures. I love rocks, trees and flowers. I love the animals and water. A few weeks ago I went into Northern Wisconsin to stay at the Four Seasons Island Resort. A very pretty place that opened in the 20's that has been remodeled. I just loved the Gatsby feel of it. It's on a little island with a one lane bridge in the midst of beautifully forested land. In the few days we were there we hiked to 9 different waterfalls in the area. We saw a black bear, birds, fish, deer(including a fawn), frogs, butterflies and a snake. It was a pretty amazing experience. I learned a lot about the area that is known as the Marinette County Forest. One of my favorite things I learned was that the rocks in the area are some of the oldest in the world because there's been nothing to erode them away. I had no idea! I'd like to also say that the drinks at the bars in the resort are GREAT and the staff was VERY friendly. We had a whirlpool tub in our room and after an eight hour hike, it was wonderful to sit in. NOW for A TON OF PICTURES!
