8-30-9 Mt. Sugarloaf

Headed north to South Deerfield for picnic on the hill.
Click on pic below for closer look at Batman.

Found this place last week, happy I could come back so soon with a crowd.




We found a spot with a view under some trees and fired up the grill.
Our group got bigger, good to see.
From the blogger to soon to be blogging this place has views for today and tomorrow.
Video chicken between blogger and daughter:>

Map of lake and park, looks like trail around lake.
Pavilion at the park has trees for support beams.

Beach canoe rentals this has to be great summer job for kid to get.


Log cabin snack shop.
Talked to park ranger he said trail around the lake was three miles, going to have to come back for that. He also said park open all year, good place for a fall hike. Down the road boat ramp and additional parking for trail.


Delivery done cruised into downtown Torrington.

Driving through Winsted Ct. past Howitzer at VFW post. Flags at this post really need to be replaced.

Good to see the Camera being built again. When they announced they would stop production, I knew it wouldn't last.

8-26-9

Found this tractor on Boston rd in Springfield, for all your mowing needs in the hood.

Looks like no work today. Bike ride has me looking at this sign. When I was a kid used to mow a lawn on this pond. Gotta look into joining this group just to fish here. http://www.masslive.com/metroeastplus/republican/index.ssf?/base/news-1/1150789637325510.xml&coll=1
Still not sure on hello kitty but friend Joe is coming home from Iraq and his group has some tie to it. This one found at Holyoke mall store.
