Good Morning! is what the crows meant to say at sun up but it came out their own echoing “Caw, Caw!!” The mist in this “holler” quickly receded back up into the top of the treeline and we got the boat ready to go explore! On the water by 9 30am and the sky was dark blue and totally clear. In this blog picture we are facing almost north and around that next curve is New York State! Next time the boat goes in the water, we’ll head that direction. We headed south this time and kept to the west side of the reservoir, checking out all the little bays and inlets with all their “no wake” bouys and pictureque campgrounds. No problem in finding the dam, which doesn’t look quite as impressive from our low vantage point today. We made it as far south as “Red Bridge”, which is a campground next to a bridge - - - a green bridge. A lovely deep bay was the perfect spot to anchor and enjoy our lunch before continuing up the east side. Gas at the marina was $4.69- not as bad as expected since gas in town yesterday was $3.99. Too bad we hadn’t remembered to take the gas can with us tho! Free wifi for the cost of his beer and my iced tea! But a great spot to send our last blog, get emails, stretch our legs, enjoy the panorama from the top of a hill and watch the children feed the gargantuan carp and multitude of ducks. The boat was back on it’s trailer and we were ready for “Happy Hour” by 4pm. Now it’s time to think about supper and the plans for Friday !
