I love my mom's cabin. it's so peaceful and is such a great place to recharge. i forget how much i love it until i am here again. i feel that i all can do when i am here is sleep. there is no noise outside, no sirens, no traffic noise, no noisy neighbors.....just peace and quiet. the sound of birds chirping during the day, and the sound of the wind rustling through the enormous pine trees at night. just total peace.
I always forget to bring a hammock when I come. there is nothing better than gently swinging in the breeze listing to the sound of the wind....and then drifting to sleep.
it has been a somewhat sad trip this time, though. Idyllwild used to be a bustling little tourist community over the last five years, but i guess with the price of gas, declining real estate, this little community is slowly becoming a ghost town. buildings are empty, streets have few people in them. it's sad to see this change. this is a great little artist community and a beautiful town.
if anyone needs a great place to take a little vacation and get away from it all, idyllwild is a great place to go. it is not commercialized at all. no chain stores. no franchises. just honest people making a living in their quaint little stores and restaurants.
as vacation time rolls around this year, remember to support your local owners. we did our part today. it was really sad to see them so wiling to negotiate just to make a sale. i, just like everyone else, like a bargain, but not at the expense of someone else's lively hood.
such a great place.
Well written article.
