A friend sent this photo to me, the car belongs to a friend of his in Ithaca, New York. It brings back fond memories.

Frank,
Given the nature of this fine little city, it would not surprize me at all to see that thing driving around. We have a quirky place here. That is what college towns are all about.

Come on up and visit!

Bones,

Thank you for the invitation. Ithaca and the Finger Lakes region, are one of my favorite areas. My Bonnie and I thought quite seriously about settleing there. We generally try to get up that way at least once every summer. :)

Perhaps you know where these pictures were taken?

This picture was taken in the same location as the above shot. My wife and daughter.

Frank....one of our favorite places to take folks when they come to visit and want to see the highest waterfall East of the Mississippi. It is on the opposite of the lake from our house, about a 20 minute ride as you have to go around downtown to get to the road that goes up there. It is about 6 miles from my house as the crow flies.

The pic of your wife and daughter is sitting on the Lenroc stone wall at the top of the falls overlook. We have a pic of me and my wife and our son sitting on my lap in the same spot. Great place to take a breather and look around.

There are some really nice day hikes right around that area, as you probably know.

The tug pics are from the canal between Seneca and Cayguga, I believe.

Open invite to wander up this way. We have plenty of room and would love to entertain all of you, anytime. And if you come in decent weather, I will have enough bikes for us to take a ride.

Come on up!

Jeff

Jeff,

Well you get an A on that test. Thank you for the invitation, we may very well take you up on the offer.

On the flip side, our new house in Florida is about 20 miles North of Daytona Beach, 10 minutes from the ocean, and about 40 minutes from Alexander and Juniper Springs. Below are a couple of shots of the springs from last Christmas. Can you tell who the Eskimo is?

The guest rooms should be open by the end of June, or the beginning of July.

DJ,

The image would not work for me either. :icon_redface: I think I fixed it.

So DJ, were you able to figure out which gal was the Eskimo?
