Greetings from Colton, NY and the
ROOFTOP OF NEW YORK STATE
aka "The North Country"

It's a long way from New London and the ocean.
But ya know what?     It's reeeal quiet up here.    I like it.

The NORTHERN LIGHTS are very visible here in the north country.
And during August the skies are full of "shooting stars" too.
They are called the Tears of St. Lawrence aka Perseid Meteor Shower.

Do you like canoes?
Here is an excellent page by another
former Submariner   Bill Whalen's,  THE OLD
CURMUDGEON BOAT SHOP   It's not in the
Adirondacks, but that's OK - he frequently
canoes here.		 Hunting is a passion in 
Northern NYS.
If you're a hunter, check out
