Phil, is it big boulder in little creek without a paddle somewhere near little neck.
Oh i love the old tribal names up state.
There are those among us who like to hunt out American history and absorb it when we are traveling through reservations. Now there’s a case for BLM.
You can feel the real spirit of the land in the Catskills and even Mohonk has a real spiritual feel despite the capitalist environment playground for the rich.
My Aunt Audrey used to often get Bears wandering into her garden in Margaretville. Now Audrey was a character, she went over to the states during the Second World War. She worked for naval intelligence and even got to meet Hitler before the war when we were trying to talk him out of invading Poland. She was also involved in the Nuremburg trials after the war. She married a top New York Hairdresser (divorced) and later married a GI. A quintessential English aristocrat at heart, the lady was absolutely fascinating and so was Tony her 2nd husband. In the early days she lived in Flushing NY, that’s when my partner Debbie used to visit. She started going over around the time of the first attempt to bring down the Twin Towers, A guy had done a tight rope walk between them at some point as well. Debbie later sold garments in New York as a fashion designer. Happy days.
Give me one good reason to go back to NY and I’m on the first available flight. Any takers for an adult apprentice machinist.
