Spend the Fourth of July on the River

   For people working Monday through Friday, today is considered the Fourth of July holiday. In more ways than that – celebrating the 4^th on the 3^rd – this year’s Independence Day is like no other. No parades or fireworks or large groups of strangers just congregating in the heat because we all like to be crammed into small spaces with sweaty strangers. Besides the coronavirus pandemic, our country has been dealing with another chaos in the last month. A type of chaos which seems to be rattling us to our core, to the beliefs and lifestyles of our Founding Fathers. We thought that this whole election year has already divided us into Liberals and Conservatives, and now this. I’m not going any further into it than that.

But, oh, boy, this is what we all need – some time along a river. I may have shared some of these pictures already, from our camping trip a few weeks ago, but I reiterate – you can’t spend too much time along a river.

 The pictures above are of Foster Falls, between Saxon and Upson, on the Potato River, I believe.
Below is Lake of the Falls, on the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage near Mercer. Places you have to visit.

And of course, then there is this river, "The Truth Beyond the River".
