Greetings from beautiful downtown Grand Lake Stream. It is truly fantastic here but the heat and the bugs have been but a small inconvenience. A dip in the lake has become a welcome daily ritual. Alesa & Laura have finished reorganizing the house. Today I am at the studio in Calais await
Trip Log
July 27, 2007
Last Thursday, Alesa & Laura went shopping in Calais while I fished and fixed a fuel tank leak in Steve's truck. We also bought a trailer hitch so I could pull the boat for our trip to Crumple Island.

We arrived in Maine on July 10th and spent a night in Portland. We are always going by and never get a chance to stop and tour the city. We did the tour and it was worth the stop as it is a charming, albeit large, seaport. We did our normal stop at LL Bean as well. We arrived at Grand Lake St

We are at Ronda & Denny's camp on Sacandaga so Alesa can visit (commiserate) with her cousin. We were able to back into a spot Denny built up with crushed stone in the woods on the road behind their camp.

We left Erie on the morning of the 8th for our trip to the Adirondacks. Jeff left Saturday from Ryan Brown's graduation open house and Mike will be leaving Monday. Bailey sobbed all during the elongated good-byes and didn't want to leave Erie.

We are at North Fork Resort in Front Royal for a couple of days. Tomorrow we should get back home to Exton for a week before leaving for Erie. Today we took a ride in the clouds on Skyline Drive and then paid a visit to Luray Caverns. Years ago we went to Luray Caverns but once in the parking

We are in the Shenandoah Hills campground in Madison, Va. This morning we went to Charlottesville and visited Monticello. We didn't do the house tour because we have done it before but did spend some time at the visitors' center museum. This afternoon we visited Mary Hulvey, Alesa's cousin, in
