THE DAM (Phase Two)

The Repair of the Dam Project Continued
Monday Mike and Owen arrived to work on repairing
the dam and on Wednesday they were finished.
UNBELIEVABLE
But they aren't the only ones who worked
on it, you'll notice in these pictures that
Larry/Dad is still hard at it.
(Click on the picture to enlarge)
Thanks Larry for all your hard work !!!

WHAT IS THIS IN OUR POND?

Back in the 60's, my cousin Phyllis Crannell Canary
and her husband Ken Canary would drive their amphibious
car into our pond to the amazement of folks camping here.
Many years latter they restored the car and just this week
 brought it back to our pond.

HERE WE GO AGAIN RE: The Dam

Yesterday (Monday the17th) they started to repair the dam.
Hopefully they finish today.
More info and pictures coming as the dam progresses

THE POND/DAM IS DONE

FINISHED...LOTS OF WATER..GRADED..NEW BRIDGE.
BEAUTIFUL !!!
The above pictures were taken on Sunday July 26
THEN
ON TUESDAY
July 28th
5 INCHES OF RAIN IN LESS THAN AN HOUR
What a shock...a downer and discouraging
But after we adjusted to what happened
and talked to Mike who did the work in  the
first place....we consider a lot worse things
could happen, so we can still be thankful
for the good things in our lives.

The Dam will be repaired.

LARRY'S FAVORITE OF THE SHOW

1928 ROADSTER

TECH SESSION..MUSEUM..AND...

CHATTING WITH HUDSON PEOPLE FROM
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
Larry's Tech Session
"Search and Rescue"
There were about 30+ at the class
At the end of the session he tells
"Uncle Josh Buys an Automobile"
They love it!!!!

We went to Ypsilanti via bus (4 buses full)
They served us a nice buffet before we went
through the museum.
Quite a few years ago we were driving to Northville
from Endwell and saw a Hudson stopped at a gas
station just outside of Cobleskill.  Larry turned around
and went back and talked to the owner.  It was the
man who owns this museum.  It was the first time that
Larry/Dad had heard of a Hudson Club, and then the
fun began !!!! 
More to come!!!
