I’m really not sure what to say here, love the Dolly P. saying of course, who wouldn’t. But the 2nd pic looks dreadfully sad to me – all dead tree stumps along a lake shore. What happened here? Sorry, perhaps some ppl could explain to me what I missed.

Paradise is amazing. Visited Paradise a few years back and had a wonderful time. Spent an hour looking for rocks along the shore ended up with an agate for my classroom the size of Muhammad Ali’s fist.

Perfect time to get out and ‘touch grass’ or whatever one encounters on the shores of Lake Superior.

I forget where you’re from? I don’t think you’re in PA. Here, there are towns called Intercourse, Paradise, and Blue Ball. Super near each other.

We also have a Paradise in California, which is the saddest name for a city that experienced such a tragedy. Regretably, much of the town was destroyed in a 2018 wildfire. Wikipedia says there were 26,218 residents in 2010. Now, there are fewer than 9,000.

I’ve been to Lake Superior as we lived in Michigan for 4.5 years. Don’t remember Paradise. Do remember how cold the lake was!

Paradise had more trees when I visited there. You must have found the desert for the forest.
