The weather here in the lower Hudson Valley was spectacular. My 6-year-old and I did our regular thing on Sunday, down to the farmers market and river park on the two-seater, via mostly trail, then a stop along Fishkill Creek on the way back to town.
There was a crew from something called the Clipperton Project paddling 5 canoes down the Hudson, and carving oars, spoons, and bowls from driftwood a la G.P.along the way! They started up at the locks near Troy. At the creek on the way back, I took a refreshing plunge into one of the rock pools just below the falls. Mack was satisfied with dipping his toes. The camera accidentally got switched to vivid for the shot of the tandem, but that actually shows the Santana color closer to true. Monday we took solo rigs to the Stewart Airport buffer zone. About 100 yards into the trail, we saw a hunter. Got the scoop that squirrel and goose season started Sept. 1, so we decided to stick to the wider gravel and dirt roads that wind through rather than do our regular loop, which includes lots of woodsy not so technical single track. (He said squirrel skinned, quartered and cooked in the crockpot were tasty, but they were not so easy to bag; being so...squirrely.) We spotted a butterfly that appeared to be injured in some way, and Mack ran over a small black snake which apparently, hopefully was none the worse after the encounter. Today is back to the fall schedule. In about an hour he and I will head over the Newburgh Beacon bridge with yet another configuration, the Clementine with Piccolo attached. We'll meet the bus with his mom for his first day as a first grader. Summer is unofficially over!
