Saturday February 1 2025 -Ontario Pathways Trail, Stanley NY (Near Canandaigua) - 2 miles, little elevation gain

Our friend Jim was in town visiting from Vermont.  Despite the lousy cold weather we did make it out for a little walk along the Ontario Pathway which runs along Flint Creek.  Not much to report, it was just a nice little leg stretcher.

Sunday December 27th - Day 7 of fly and drive trip to Oregon - Idaho Falls Idaho to Thermopolis WY

Image
Today was an exciting and scenery filled day.  I woke up to thankfully only a few more inches of snow more than were there when I got to the hotel in Idaho Falls.  The roads in town were awful just like they were when I arrived the night before so I was concerned that the entire day could be difficult.  Amazingly, the highways improved dramatically, seemingly at the city limits.  I had hoped to go through Cody Wyoming today to visit the museum my friend from Oregon recommended but ID-31 had a chain control in effect so I stayed on US-26 which took me further south and added miles both.  I did get to go over top of 9500 foot tall Togwotee pass and I had a good walk along the river in Dubois WY.  The photos do a pretty good job of showing the types of scenery I experienced today.  Other than than snowmobile recreation users at very high altitudes there were virtually no other cars.  I mean many minutes between even seeing one oncoming vehicle and vi...

March 14 - 17, Tulsa and Oklahoma City, OK

Image
By Brian Gilbar (some additions by Chris) Saturday we headed to Tulsa, OK.  It was a long drive in from the panhandle but we each drove half and the day went by quickly.  We stopped for lunch at Pub on the Bricks in Guymon, OK.  The food was good and it seemed like a nice, friendly town.  Once in Tulsa we decided to head right out to dinner to an Italian restaurant Chris had eaten at before, Dalesandros.  The food was amazing, but the portions were way too big.  We could have easily shared.  Chris has chicken cacciatore and I had a carbonara with two kinds of bacon...so delicious!  We then went out for a couple drinks at the Tulsa Eagle.  Not many people there but we had a lot of fun and it was relaxing. Sunday morning we headed to Oklahoma City.  On the way we headed to Carl Blackwell Lake for a 7.7 mile hike.  It was a strange hike to start as it was a bunch of horse trails and it appeared initially that we would just be wa...

Friday October 4, 2024 - A tale of two state parks - Connecticut and West Virginia

Image
West Virginia. and Connecticut...  One is known for high incomes and higher education, the other for rednecks and coal.  But who has the better state park facilities?  To be certain, these 2 facilities are not apples to apples comparisons.  Both represent their particular parks' version of a '2 bedroom cabin' but one of them is over 2x as expensive as the other.   I doubt many people would choose the cheaper one based on the 'great value' it offers. Contestant 1:  We had to arrive before 5 pm or make prior arrangements with the office to have our cabin setup with a passcode to get in the door.  We arrived late so we were told to come in the next morning (at 9 am or later) to leave a cash deposit to protect against damage of this cabin we already paid for online. The cabin itself was adequate.  It had plenty of power outlets and a few bleak halogen light fixtures and a queen size mattress pad on a frame in one room and 3 or 4 bunk beds with pads i...
