Quarry View - Life is Now

A big event: Quarry View - Life is Now - August 26th.  As always, I had a good time playing percussion and Native American Flutes. The amp helped a bit for the flutes...

Thanks to Louise Michaud for capturing this short snippet of me playing the Pocket Native American Flute:

There were a lot of folks there!

Pequot Museum

Cris and I ventured south to the Foxwoods Complex to visit the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center. What an amazing place! We went here ages ago after it first opened and I have been dying to go back ever since... [Should be a required visit for all Ameircans! :-) ]

BTW - Its five stories high and faces the cedar swamp - the vibe here was incredible...

The entrance hall

Scale model of the reservation grounds - freakin' awesome!

Entering the Ice Age section - brrr!

This exhibit will blow your mind!

Fauna...

Entering the full scale Pequot Village - wow!

Corn and the three sisters mounds

Learning to feather an arrow

It was a great learning experience...

The Leeway

I had the good fortune to stay at The Leeway for a night after I rode the Ashokan Rail Trail.

Just a short walk to the River (Esopus Creek)

Driving north from Mt Tremper

While driving up to Woodstock Brewing to have lunch, all along the way you see the railbikes--even on a crappy, gray, rain-soaked day they are out there!

I enjoyed a flight of local beers at the Woodstock Brewery (PS - I lked the stout the best!)

It was like a monsoon when I left the Brewery!!

At John's camp - August 2023

John, Paul, Chad, Gary and Rich had a good time at John's camp on Paradox Lake in the Adirondacks.

On Tuesday, Captain John took us on a boat ride:

Wednesday morning we went kayaking (no photos).

Of course most of the time we chatted and chatted and chatted - it was great! :-)
