“True solitude is found in the wild places, where one is without human obligation. One’s inner voices become audible… In consequence, one responds more clearly to other lives.”
Wendell Berry
This solitudinal place is just north of Cowdrey in Roosevelt National Forest and taken back in 2005. Friends I was visiting with at Cowdrey took me to this lovely place where we enjoyed the scenery and grilled steaks on an open fire. This meadow is a series of beaver ponds where anglers love to spend time in solitude. I unfortunately do not remember the creek these ponds were along. Hoping you have a great week.

Beautiful looking place. Makes me want to take up fishing just to be able to enjoy the quiet.

Thanks, Tom. And yes it is beautiful! Most people who come here leave the noise of man’s machines back in town. I think this what Berry means when he says “wild places.”
