Thank you. It is magical, a miracle. I made a choice, chose a direction of travel trusting that the universe would provide the next step ... and ended up with far more than what I could have imagined starting out.

Oh, and that name! According to the Wikipedia page linked in the post:

The name Humptulips was the name of a band of the Chehalis tribe who lived in the area. The name comes from a local Native American language, meaning 'hard to pole', referring to the difficulty local Native Americans had poling their canoes along the Humptulips River.

The river is fairly shallow; I can see how it would be hard to navigate a canoe along parts of it.
