Last year at this time we spent a little time up there. I really want to go back.

first pilgrimage to john brown’s farmhouse. i was not aware his dad died in manhattan fighting the crown, and can’t think of another historic site dedicated to a man hung by the govt.
there’s a tearjerking memorial about working farms paid for by abolitionists in the daks (had no idea about these towns that have disappeared) and some other stuff to give context to the times as well as mr brown, and a really devastating modern BLM memorial.
well worth a stop when you’re upstate!j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi

Stapes - no luck up there. Not a single rise in 3 hours, and no nibbles on CJs or scuds. I was surprised to find out that lake is 50' deep.
Lots of long walks in WB, and the backcountry permit process is a PITA, but I'll get back to Thunder or Pear with the fly rod eventually.

Wow... special day.
sound, smoke and smells of a rotary... and possibly a small fire if you over primed it on start up
Jacked Up Ryan M-2? Or is there a more interesting back story?
Cost a few bucks to keep that airworthy.
Dad gave Sky Rides in a Boeing Stearman PT-17 (with cowl) on the weekends (for the owner). 50$ got you 20 minutes at a little uncontrolled grass and macadam strip.I am not in your hurry

Funny you should say this... been privileged to be in a few experimental's and u-build-it's when canvas and (aircraft) dope (super thick sticky yellowish lacquer) was the assembly method for the outer skin. Think twice and look around real good before you light a match.
My task as a yout was to consistently look for open fields to put it down if we got away from the airport. My mother near pissed herself quite a lot while me and Dad clambered aboard being careful where you put your feet lest you punch a hole in da bird.I am not in your hurry
