We had a secret mission today..   A couple of years back,  linda, david , diane and I took a hike at oaklee corners park in tioga center NY.. we came across some weird stuff in the woods..  we found an abandoned car in the center of the  woods.. and a wird clown nailed to a tree nearby. It was very Blair Witch-y

These pics were from March of 2022. 

Today.. our mission was to take a 6 foot skeleton avid had bought  and put it in that car.   We packed up the skeleton, and headed to Oaklee Corners trailhead. LeeAnn met us there. 

we tromped around for a  log time.. I even used the  GPS coordinates of the pictures to try to find the car or the clown.. both were gone 1.. we  are certain we were In the right place, I took measurements and compared them to where  all the pictures were taken..

where did they go .?!?!

we eventually new we’d done all  we could.. and hiked back. tot he car.. 

mission not accomplished.. but still a nice hike !

we put mr skeleton in the car for his (her /) next adventure

Great to spend time with Linda , David and Willow … 

Linda had a dress out drying on the porch.. I recognized it immediatly as the dress linda wore as dianes made of honor at our wedding !

One of the motivations to come here this weekend is that Linda and David got tickets to a special production of Mesmerica
by James Hood. It was at the Digital Dome Planetarium at Suny Corning. . THats about an hour and a half from Endicott.    It was pretty cool. The Digital dome was a really comfy dome with planetarium seating.. and soem really good projectors. The production was about an hour of really cool animations projected in 360 degrees wiht cool spacey music.. It was really cool !

It was a great drive both ways.. the SUNY campus was very nice and quiet.. lots of deer

Tonight we went to Fushimi.. one of our favorite restaurants in the area.
