Quilt 68

I love this new technique.  Buy seven panels, set one aside, and stack and whack six of them to make the kaleidoscopes.  Then surround the uncut panel for a neat effect.

Paddling with Friends

It was another beautiful day with temperature near 70.  So seven of us paddled on the Raquette River today.  We put in at the Crusher and paddled about 2 1/2 miles upstream to campsite #19 where we took a break.  Then back to the starting point.  It was great to see more of our friends while we are here.

Paddling from Second Pond to the Locks

We had a lovely paddle with friends today.  The weather was so beautiful, with sunshine and temps in the mid-60's, that we just had to get on the water.  We put in at the boat launch on Second Pond and had a leisurely paddle to the locks and back.

Hiking the Waterfalls Of the Grasse River

We are back in the Adirondacks.  We left hurriedly at the beginning of October to deal with a family tragedy.  We are here now for a couple of weeks to try to unwind before heading back to New Jersey.

Today we drove up Tooley Pond Road looking for waterfalls.  We hiked into four of them.
