When I was a child, we spent lots of time at "Open Banks" on Little River but never in snow like this. Were you ever at open banks? It has long been covered by Millwood Lake.
When I was a kid we'd pitch a parachute Tepee on the river bank and campout during the winter ... sometimes it was below 0 ... we stayed warm by using a coffee can 3/4 full of sand, poured rubbing alcohol into it to the top of the sand, and let it do the slow burn. It kept the TPEE parachute about 30 degrees warmer than outside .. as an adult, I found myself on "boarder patrol" north of the Artic circle on the Norwegian/Russian border for 2 months ............. thanks for the memories ..

These images remind me of exploring the woods with my dad. Beautiful, peaceful, serene.
