If you head out to your parent's communities, you'll often hear people talk about "the country" as in "I'm heading cross-country" to refer to heading across the Heart's Content or Tilton barrens to Carbonear or Bay Roberts. Or talk about "John Rowe's Country" which refers to a big stretch of woods with some cleared spots that stands between my Dad and his favourite fishing spot. (John Rowe is long dead and gone but he used to cut his wood there and had a small wood cutting shack.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, basically, any large untended or unfenced piece of property that's close to a community is not just "countryside" or "wilderness" or "woods"--it's "country" and not just country but "THE country" or "X's country". Sort of a parallel to "on the land".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-56952943023946023922007-05-23T09:20:00.000-04:002007-05-23T09:20:00.000-04:00You should so come on an outdoors trip with me.
