Our happy place
A lot of people have there favorite place they like to go and spend time at. Ours is Garden City SC. We have a house 1/4" mile off the beach. Straight up from the pier. We spend a bunch of time here.
I got up early this morning and went down to get some pictures of the sun coming up over the water. It was a little cloudy so it took a bit longer. I even had breakfast with a old friend from work who lives here also. God sure is good to us!

Re: Our happy place
We have a sweet spot we like to run off too on the Cartecay. But honestly I think I could spend the rest of my life in/around the Appalachian Trail, with all the nonsense going on in the world right now would be nice getting lost up and around Three Forks Mountain for a few months.

Re: Our happy place
Well it looks like there several people who like it at my happy place. Maybe we need to have a gathering once all this virus stuff is over.

Re: Our happy place
Eagle Rock, Mo on the back end of Table Rock Lake on the AR line. Love it there. Me and the unhappy wife are discussing me buying another street bike so I can go down and ride. I'm happier about this than she is.

Re: Our happy place
Got a happy place in the back yard and the second photo is any one of a million places in Arkansas that looks like this. The Buffalo River is right behind me in this photo and my truck is on the top of that hill in the distance - 4.5 miles and 800 feet in elevation away. Had caught over 20 smallmouth hiking down this stream. Only way down to the water is by horse, mule, or your own two feet.

Re: Our happy place
Thanks, it was a dream for the wife for about 10 years to have a house with a pool so when we bought this house it was the first thing we did. The screened porch was already here and there is a bathroom in the third bay of the garage that sidewalk to the left leads to so it was a perfect setup. Saltwater is the way to go.
Kids did lose interest in swimming in the lake though, that was a drawback because it cut down on our camping trips. If you are ever going to be in the Little Rock, AR area with some time to kill send me a PM. I work from home and with this covid thing am travelling only about 20% of what I used to.

Re: Our happy place
Right here I suppose, though it would probably be happier if I cut the phone/internet line
This is just down the hill from our house, looking across the neighbors' easement into the other horse pasture:

Re: Our happy place
This is Ruskin Fl. That green patch of weeds is where the pool is going and just beyond those houses is Little Harbor. There's a beach and restaurants and a fishing pier.

Re: Our happy place
Well we started the summer with a new screened in porch and side deck. Then I had a new shed cover built out back and concreted so I could work on stuff outside. We use it for our low country bowls also.
Now we just finished the 1st phase of the master bed room bath update. Later we plan to have a tile shower installed this winter maybe after the first of the year. New flooring in the bathroom & closet. Plus new vanity with a extra wall outlet installed.
