Half hour to kill between pick ups in East Hartford. Have been wanting to look in on light weight jacket and pant sets called Froggtoggs. Didn't realize how much I wanted these till seeing them in person. Well made perfect for staving off light rain and wind. Josh sale is over, no longer twenty dollars for set. Priced at $49.00 dollars ill keep an eye out for next sale. http://www.mw-enterprises.com/

5-27-9 Mansfield Hollow State Park

This place had me remembering Sunday drives to visit family when I was young. My step father would bring us to visit his parents whose father was superintendent of water works. He lived on site at West Parish Filters on Granville rd in Westfield MA. behind Stanley park. House was right out of Norman Rockwell painting with stairway that led to a knotty pine Attic. We rode toy dump trucks and bikes that were antiques back then, down hills without helmet or pads of any kind. It was the coolest thing being in a big municipality like that wish I could get a tour of the place today.

Haven't been on the Mount Washington but have seen it cruising the lake before.

Scenic train rides depart from boardwalk with video evidence below.
Nice old homes on the lake across from touristy trappings. The vets have the best with canons on the lawn.

Have usually seen Mount Washington from other parts of lake. Here boats coming back to pier and looks like its almost on shore.


All this seen from rock ledge watching boats parade past all day long, good way to spend a summer.
