Driving out to Cole Hill State Forest, along Cole Hill Road and Woodstock Road, I was thinking how much time I’ve spent in the city lately, and how little in the countryside. 🐮I’ve really not made many road trips lately,🚗 I’ve not taken in the landscape of the hills and hollows, the mountains and the streams, the wild country.🏔

I’ve always liked the backroads and backcountry.🛣 The places usually shunned by the traveler, only really followed by the local. The wild farm country, the woods, the homes, mountains, and valleys around. I really should get out and travel some more.🏕
