Poll: Have you ever been someplace that you thought was pretty cool and you always wanted to go back?

About halfway through the belly-high corn you could hear the dull clank of old iron, and the steam stood still, hiding amongst the tree’s leaves. Soon after, you could hear Papa’s voice rising through the forest and then another *clank* and then a new cuss word Papa invented and a *clank* and now you can see him and he starts smilin’ and you start grinnin’ and he says “Don’t worry about this old still, she’ll be up and runnin’ before the sun sets.” And there’s a line of sweat that won’t run on his forehead and a hammer gripped in his dirty paw and he tells you to get on up the hill and save him a spot in the rafters and you say yes and he says hell yes and you move through the damp forest path towards the line of Red Maples and you wonder how many more times it’s gonna be like this, like a dream….
