My family first settled here in the 1700s and now I can see why. Sometimes when you live in all this beauty you forget to appreciate it. I couldn't agree more the people on MDI are simply the best.
Hope to see you next year and in years to come!

: along the water, that I missed one or two
: distance markers so that was exciting. The
