“I have noticed that youngsters given to the climbing habit usually do something when they grow up.” Elbert Hubbard
I climbed trees when I was a young child. I remember getting to the top of a particularly tall tree (to me anyway) when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I was absolutely stunned by the view. We lived on the North Shore of Lake Superior at the time on a ridge about two miles from the lake. There was no development of any kind between us and the lake. Climbing that tree and seeing that completely unobstructed view made a huge impression on me. My world was quite small until that moment. It really hadn’t occurred to me that there was a lot more “world” out there. But here was my proof!
In that tree – I could see “everything”. I was on top of the world!
And here is my Grand Daughter learning to do the same thing! She’s a natural climber – just like her Grandma.
