The Woods -- Peter Michalski

After living in Slomniki in my aunts house my family moved to another town that was pretty far away. The town seemed to be in the middle of a big forest because if there wasn't a house or road taking up space then there was probably tree's growing there. This time are house was along the edge of a big forest and are backyard was blending with it. Those woods were always special to me, because on days i had nothing to do the woods were a whole new land filled with adventure. My friend and i would sometimes go blueberry picking so we could make home made blueberry jam or just pretend to be lost in some great wilderness trying to survive. For some reason no place here even come close to matching up with those woods. we have national parks here and things like that but often times you don't see a forest left alone that you can go play in. All wilderness places seem to have restriction on what you can and can't do. which is understandable but it also takes away from the experience and reason for going out in the first place.
