The photos I shot of Volcán Barú and Boquete in Panama were taken in August and September of 1980. Much of their quality has been lost due to the prints aging. The photos begin with where I stayed [Volcán Barú] while in Panama and end with the Boquete area. To me, being up on that [...]
I treated myself to a post-birthday gift by creating a memory created from memories. I began my drive around 12:40 p.m., Monday, October 10, 2011. I got home at approximately 6:50 that evening. That 6 hrs. and 10 mins. of driving was part 2 of my vacation for this year. Part 1 was when I [...]
I never kayaked on a reservoir before. The Cannonsville Reservoir is my first and I doubt I’ll return there again. Even though this reservoir is about 15 miles long and averages one-half mile wide, to me, it felt like being trapped in a big water basin. The water is surrounded by mountains and woods, but [...]
A vacation is leisure time away from work (time longer than several hours out of one day) devoted to rest or pleasure. Typically, people perceive work as paid employment. They might not go so far as to say that being unemployed is like being on a vacation, but few would be able to realize I [...]
This post continues from where Water Sights at Taylor Pond left off with its photos. For those who are new here, this Chi-Poo kayaking buddy of mine goes by the name of “Rascal.” I wish I could have gotten at least one picture of Rascal while the wind was blowing strong, because the back of [...]
This post continues from where Lean-to Sites at Taylor Pond left off, with my marveling over how wonderful the sound of a brook goes with hearing wind blow through trees and a loon off in the distance! (All shots are enlarged by clicking on them.) The above is towards the southwest. The Catamount Mountains are [...]
This post continues from where Tent Sites at Taylor Pond left off, with the mention that this campground needs campers or else New York State will keep it closed. These first three photos are from site #2; one that’s only accessible by boat or a long hike. It’s very remote and has a fair amount [...]
This post continues from where Taylor Pond is the Best! left off, with mentioning about a bat, a loon, and beavers following me while kayaking. These first three photos are by site #19; one that’s accessible by car: (All shots are enlarged by clicking on them.) These next couple of photos are from site #3; [...]
This post continues from where West Before South left off, and hopefully now will reflect a little more enthusiasm. I was heading to the Adirondack Mountains, but had no idea where exactly would be the best place to stay. I didn’t feel like going from one body of water to another as seen in my [...]
This post continues from where Moosehead in the Other Direction left off, with my having said enough about that lake. While traveling through Maine, it was evident that there were beautiful rest areas. Here are some photos of a rest stop along Route 150 (Harmony Road): (All shots are enlarged by clicking on them.) Since [...]
