My brother Mike, my daughter’s beau Evan, and I met up with Uncle Bobby the 2nd morning after Christmas at Mike’s cabin.\u00a0 “Camp Liberty” is located on the Buffalo River near our home town of Hohenwald, TN.\u00a0 I spent many a day in my youth along the river.\u00a0 Daddy and I would occasionally float it and fish.\u00a0 Friends and I would visit various “holes” along the river for a swim.\u00a0 Mom and dad also had a cabin on the river, at which they loved to spend summer afternoons, evenings, and weekends.\u00a0 Their place is up the river no more than a mile from here, so this was like stepping back in time.\u00a0 There are a small number of cabins and homes along this 4-5 mile stretch of the river … just enough to have a neighborly feel, yet very quiet, lazy, and relaxing.\u00a0 It would not be uncommon to spend the entire day here and only see 3-4 folks during the span of 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, our visit brought back lots of fond memories and familiarities.\u00a0 The sounds of the slow moving river and the small stream feeding it near Mike’s cabin are oh so peaceful.\u00a0 Wandering around in the woods along the stream were like returning to my childhood.\u00a0 We even crossed the path of 2 deer hunters and had a short chat about their morning kill and the goings on in this neck of the woods.\u00a0 Which brings me back to one of the reasons for our trip to “Camp Liberty”, which was to shoot a few of my dad’s old pistols and his 22 rifle.\u00a0 We carefully and systematically took care of a milk jug and 3 coffee cups, being the avid marksmen we all are.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 It was a fun morning that perhaps only small town country boys can appreciate.<\/p>\n
