Field Trip – Fall ‘74

And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile,
it don’t cost very much, but it lasts a long while.
Won’t you please tell the man I didn’t kill anyone,
No, I was just trying to have me some fun.

Sunrise at Seaview

I was fortunate to have enjoyed this week’s balmy weather at a working conference at world class golf resort, Seaview, in Galloway, NJ. The work and high winds kept me inside, but the sunshine and 60+ degree weather got me thinking of hitting the driving range. I did manage a sunrise walk on the Bay course – check it out:

From the Catskill mountain landscapes that inspired the creation of the character Rip Van Winkle and the iconic Hudson River School Asher Durand paintings Kindred Spirits and Kaaterskill Clove, follow the pics of a great day trip and hike adventure (I don’t do ice climbing!).
