Help Protect our Susquehanna

  
To All:  Please take a few minutes to visit this blog and send an e-mail to the EPA demanding a forum on Marcellus drilling be held in the Susquehanna's watershed.

Fellow bloggers...please link to the site above as well. Let's force the issue and get the EPA to schedule a meeting in our neighborhood to hear what we have to say about protecting Pennsylvania's largest watershed.

Thanks.

Washington Walkabout

  
My wife and I spent a long weekend in Washington DC. We were there to visit our daughters, see one of them run a 10 mile race, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the annual Cherry Blossom festival. I'm guessing between Arlington, Washington proper and Georgetown...and back, we walked in the neighborhood of 15 miles over two days.

It was nice to be company for a change. Here are a few pics from our walkabout.

With 15,000+ runners ( plus their families ), they needed a few of these.

04/04/04

 
The Susquehanna River is 444 miles long, from its source at Lake Otsego in Cooperstown, NY to where it enters the Chesapeake Bay at Havre de Grace, MD.

On 4/4/4, I was on the Susquehanna River with some paddling friends. The night before, we had a potluck dinner and live entertainment at Camp Lackawanna on the Vosburg Curve.

Ladies...I'm still waiting for the recipe for the chicken & corn chowder. I'm a patient man, but this is starting to wear thin!

Very thin...

Anyway, here are some pics from that event.









Have a good weekend, folks!
