Comments on: Rollin’ on The Bayou: Hot, Strange, Sad, and Beautiful http://www.thesca.org/conservation_nation/2007/06/12/rollin-on-the-bayou/ Just another WordPress weblog Mon, 08 Sep 2008 14:58:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Mary Alice Drusbasky http://www.thesca.org/conservation_nation/2007/06/12/rollin-on-the-bayou/#comment-364 Mary Alice Drusbasky Mon, 19 Nov 2007 19:06:45 +0000 http://www.thesca.org/conservation_nation/2007/06/12/its-hot-strange-sad-and-beautiful-down-on-the-bayou/#comment-364 Thank you for the update of the Bayou country; what a beautiful sunset (and dog), what a tragic ongoing scenario which you have depicted so well with great photos, and especially your sense of humor which is soooo restorative in any helping endeavor on our planet earth! I read one of the replies about an elderly lady that wishes opportunities like SCA would have been available to her "free spirit" self years ago in the 1930's. I am now 61 and some opportunities were open, some not; but this is my first time "chatting" on the web, so to speak, I am still a beginner with the Computer, but I have been inspired to get involved somehow, with conservation and the great out of doors. I still have a few good years in me and now I just need to decide how to do it. Thanks all of you, for the inspiration. God's Peace Thank you for the update of the Bayou country; what a beautiful

Truly to you Dale Penny and the rest of the leaders in the whole system. You deserve my greatest appreciation for making this possible for me. It takes away my feeling 85 and brings me back to the "me, when I used to dream. I truly can say, because of this wonderful media gesture, I don't feel I have missed out entirely in what I would have called. Really Living. Thank You.

I am overwhelmed at the emotions all of the above produced. I am an old woman who wished to be a forest ranger when I was 20 yrs old and there was no such thing for girls in the 1930s. The thrill I feel now vicariously with your stories. Really alive and sweaty experiences so beautifully stated fills me with joy but envy that I wasn't then and can't now be part of this opportunity. I am not angry but happy the SCA puts all your experience on the net so I can forget my crippled legs of now and feel the emotional freedom of your blogs. I'm thrilled that I can help support some of you but, believe me, it's not the same feeling I'd have had 70 years ago when no one had thought of such for a free spirit such as mine. God bless you all. I don’t know why I am writing anything here. I am overwhelmed at the emotions all of the above produced.

The only word I could use to describe what we saw was surreal. Anyway, like your insight, keep it up. Later!!
