ENJOY BEAUTIFUL ALGER COUNTY
From the forests and the prairies, from the great lakes of the Northland, from the land of the Ojibways, from the land of the Dacotahs, from the mountains, moors, and fen-lands, where the heron, the Shuh-shuh-gah, feeds among the reeds and rushes.
Pretty good description of the poem's namesake, the Hiawatha National Forest. Hiawatha is the only U.S. National Forest that reaches the shores of three Great Lakes. It takes in a huge area -- roughly 880,000 acres in the central and eastern part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. With Hiawatha's extraordinary location, a vast array of recreational opportunities are available in a spectacular natural setting among great views and interesting historic sites.As the 19th century poet Longfellow put it in "Song of Hiawatha" . . .
I may not remember the first SnowFlake, but I will always remember the most beautiful I have ever seen. It was on a fall day, the air was crisp and the skies as blue as I have ever seen. It was not a day for Snow! In awe, I watched as it gracefully made its way through the heavens to settle gently on earth. A single Snowflake with such beauty mere words cannot describe. The sunbeams of the afternoon danced upon it and refelected back to me a brilliance that would rival the sun itself.The intricate beauty of this single Snowflake convinced me that it could only be a piece of lace fallen from the veil of one of God's own angels. I wanted so to reach out and touch it, But I was fearful, fearful that if I did it could melt away and begone from me forever. I resigned myself to the fact that I could only admire from a distance and place in my mind a picture and in my heart a contentment. It's true. I may not remember the first, but I will always remember the most beautiful Snowflake I have ever seen. by - Jewett 92 copywrite.
