A Mapleton Discovery...

We took a little hike...

 Found my first trillium this year...

 Marveled with Tree Spirits...

 Along Sweet Creek...

Sweet Creek Falls!

Awesome!!

A Trip...

Down Memory Lane...

 Past the public dock...

Cross the no-longer Covered Bridge...

To a special spot...now with an address...

 Along the Siuslaw River...

 By the giant maple tree...

 From which we'd swing out over the water and drop...

 Where a different home and a new dock now sits...

 Our Mapleton Cabin!

Childhood memories...

And a piece of my Heart remain.
