Family, Mtn. Goat Style

  "Hello!   My family and I are pleased to meet you. Since we are traveling with young kid, we feel protected in parks and forests of rural areas.
  You know us mountain goats, we love to haunt places, and my family enjoys haunting any type of water: creek, river, pond, lake, and ocean, even snow and ice.
  Our current mission is to explore the Great Lakes as they flow to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Including all the States with shorelines: Minnesota, Ontario, Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, Lower Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Saint Pierre / Miquelon, and Newfoundland / Labrador.
  Our dream is to explore as much of the United States and Canada as goatly possible. You would forever be in our graces if you took us along on a trip or helped us in any way to reach our larger goal, and please, feel free to share your experience, thoughts, and photos.
  We love to travel and discover new places so we do not mind taking the scenic route or making multiple stops on our journey. Along the way we would be happy to visit County Parks, State Parks, State Forests, National Forests or any other relatively safe cache."

  This travel bug stems from my passion to explore someplace I have never been before. I guess when it comes to vacations, I am somewhat of a home-body, but I can't help it that North America is fab-u-lous, lol.
  I really enjoy thinking about a location, for example, how right here where I stand was shaped by a past volcano eruption or glacial movement. I also think how right here fits into the region as a whole, like part of a complete river system or mountain range.
  Wilderness and State / National Forests hold a lasting place in my heart for many reasons. First, they display the sweeping landscapes of Earth’s fertile ground. Also the beauty and richness of life is experienced inside the natural ecosystems of plants and animals. Finally, their wildness grants you a sense of adventure and accomplishment in discovering all the secret corners within them.
