A killer day. Nine hours of driving and only 2 hours on interstates. We wound around down and thru every small two lane road in New York and Pennsylvania. That was the bad news.
We had the most beautiful drive we have been on ever! The leaves on the west side of the mountains where in full color. I think we may have hit the peak color for a lot of the area we went thru. The road winds thru the woods with little lakes every few miles. I wanted to stop get some birch bark, build a canoe, paddle of across the lake and look for a moose or bear.
We happened across the Museum of the Adirondack, which is totally in the middle of nowhere. I would have loved to spend a bunch of time there because they have one of the largest collections of Guide Boats in the existence. We didn’t even try to go because I knew I would be lost. I did go thru the museum store and buy a bunch of books I didn’t have. Carole found some of her china in the store and they had a couple of pieces she didn’t have. We both left happy but I would like to go back some time and spend several hours checking out the boats. If you don’t know what a Guide Boat is you need to Google it and check them out. They are basically canoe that you row.
I expected Papa Joe to greet us as we entered State College but I guess he must have been busy. I think I am going to give up on football. Joe doesn't welcome me and Nick doesn't call me at half to ask for my advice.
On today to see Falling Waters, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s designs.
