Oct 27

Last night, many of the Park Rangers met at Darby O’Gills to celebrate the almost end of the very busy month of October and to relax,  enjoy and have a few beers.  Special friends, Bob, Paul, Ken, Mike, Elizabeth, Jason, Kevin, Jerry, etc.

 These are truly Great guys and gals…and I was so honored to be a part of the gang.  Amazing fellowship.

Today is another tour of Val-Kill and Stone Cottage. Scenes of the grounds at Val-Kill.

Possibly the prettiest day yet..60s, clear, sunny. I could not be inside on a day like this

I hiked Eleanor’s Loop again..about 1 mile.

I sat in the sun and lounged poolside

Cookout? Hotdogs? Lots of family gatherings were held at Val-Kill.
