The story includes beautiful illustrations of the scenery of mountains, rivers, bridges, and small town Mazama and Winthrop. A reflection of childhood memories that all ages can relate to. A reminder to slow down and enjoy the beauty of each of our lifes and relationships with the people in our live. A simplier time is shared by the author and a reminder In this day and age of computer technology and instant gratification to quiet ourselves for creativity and spirituality. "I didn't realize until I was older that it only took approximately 20 minutes to get to town, and how lucky I was to have grandparents and parents who shared this incredible life of adventure, travel, home cooking, fishing and long walks just to mention a few" says the author. Today Mazama is still a small town, the old post office has now been turned into a great little tourist stop "The Mazama Store" . The scenery remains the same as I remember it the town of Winthrop was updated, but as a child it looked like this old town out of a western movie. The Methow river flows along the road from Mazama to Winthrop and on to twisp which connects each town and flows on to more travels. The book includes a local map to create an interactive experience for all to enjoy.
