Kisatchie National Forest

Those who grow up in the Georgetown-Tullos area take having a national forest next door as a matter of course. There comes a time when we realize not everyone is blessed with so much nature around them, but usually years after Santa Claus has been unbearded. A friend who lived across the street from me used to wake up early to go squirrel hunting behind his house. He always got home in time to clean both himself and the squirrels, and be ready to catch the school bus. On my side of the street, I'd wake up just in time to catch the same bus. Maybe that's why he became a general and I, well, let's just say, I didn't.
