'Ya know it's kinda funny. I've been very fortunate and had the opportunity to have some wonderful adventures and amazing vacations in my life - but this.... was just
way too cool.
The privacy aspect - which is just about impossible to find anywhere - was just overwhelming. If I wanted to strip all my clothes off at high noon and howl at the moon - well - I just DID it. Hiking alone all day in the canyons was even more fun since there was a serious element of danger to it. Amy was content just hanging out on the front couch and reading while I had more than one "walk about". I just told here what general direction I was going and if I wasn't back in a couple of hours before sun down to come looking for me - and bring the first aid kit. Her only comment: "Have fun!"
I will admit to taking my hand held aircraft radio, whistle and signal mirror with me. I took my cell phone too, but they're pretty much worthless unless you climb up onto a high bluff - and even then they are sketchy.
We can't wait to go back, and already have two weeks in late May and early October planned for next year.
CARAVAN!
21 inch logs just don't cut it! It DID wake up my wife and poodle as the water cascaded over the front rail up onto the couch. 
There was one time when I was absolutely convinced we were sinking until the water drained and it popped back up.
