"Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after." Henry David Thoreau.
I spent six years in the Marine Corps and over two decades since as a career prosecutor. And I've learned a few things along the way. First, trust in God. Second, find a good woman and love her fiercely. I lost that woman -- my wife -- to cancer shortly after we bought and restored this cabin in hopes of retiring here and growing old together. But, during her battle with cancer, we decided to share this place with military veterans and law enforcement officers, who took tremendous care of the cabin and the land. And, in hindsight, I learned that they needed that time away every bit as much as my wife and I did. So I want to share my wife's plan with others who need some Peace.
