SA: Nothing doesn't exist, but it is? what?
Anyways...
Ron:
> Hows the job? The family?
SA: Jobs great. This is probably the best job I ever
have had, best as in I go in happy, I'm happy while I
work, and I leave happy work's over and I don't have
anything to worry about or be concerned with while I'm
not working at the job.
Families awesome. Wife might have a permanent
teaching job coming up... oh fingers crossed. My wife
said she'll cry if she does. Tears of joy. This
whole permanent teaching job stuff has been on her
mind for years now. She really loves teaching. It's
been two or three years since she's (and I) have
graduated. She's been working long term substituting
all this time; teachers on leave for semesters at a
time and my wife fills in. Son's growing ever more
aware, twenty months old now. We walked in the woods
earlier today and saw a butterfly at a flower in a
tree. I said, "Butterfly" and he said,
"Buuttterflyy".
We're going camping tomorrow, hopefully,
somewhere north in the Allegheny Forest, maybe Sugar
Creek or Kinzu Creek or maybe somewhere a little
further south that I saw on the map about a year ago.
I'll be pulling the map out here soon seein' where
we'll go. This will be the first time my son will be
camping. A little different, hahhaha, (a lot
different), than when my wife first went camping. Her
and I went backpacking (which my son hasn't done yet,
but sometime this summer we will be) in the Adirondack
Mountains and the first day we walked above 3,000 ft.
in elevation and down the other side between two
mountain peeks and camped near Lake Colden by
Opalescent River (the source of the Hudson River).
Opalescent River was more kin to how the creeks are in
size around here at that point in its' flow. Dreamy
place, the Opalescent River flows from a lake that
sits over 4,000 ft. in elevation near the summit of
Mt. Marcy, a beaver dam is at the very place where the
water is flowing out of the lake and becomes the
Opalescent River. That lake's called "Lake Tear of
the Clouds".
Found this in google. Don't know when it was
taken, but somebody else saw the beaver dam too:

Here's one looking up at Mt. Marcy from Lake Tear
of the Clouds:

My wife and I on this trip that I've been talking
about would have camped on the downflow side of this
beaver dam and towards the person that took the
picture of Mt. Marcy. We were in the valley that the
water flowed out of the lake from (Opalescent River),
but we walked into the valley from the opposite side
in which this river flowed down from. I experienced
Lake Tear of the Clouds and Mt. Marcy on a previous
backpacking trip before I met my wife. She loves to
camp and backpack. Her first time backpacking and
camping was challenging, but we joke about how all the
backpacking trips from then on will be (and have been)
downhill, easier, and we've been to many wilderness
regions since then.
gotta go,
good chattin' with ya about real-time participance,
SA
