OK, first I'm jealous of your garage,............. and then you show this place! Gorgeous!!!
Makes me miss my backpacking days in the mountains of NE New Mexico. The true quiet and peace of these areas is indescribable. And the night skies are clear, crisp and free of ground light clutter. Amazing how many stars are visible when you get 'away'.
As for the 3 HP motor,......... I'd opt for a canoe or kayak!
May not be Heaven Tom,... but it's as close as many of us will ever get!
