Days of Old... the Wildcat Gondola. We actually rode in these buckets up Wildcat Mountain (NH White Mountains) all winter, enjoying some quality second hand smoke from those we were forced to share the gondola with.

After a season of attempted bee-keeping, my bees all died or flew away after losing a queen. I re-queened, and the second queen did not take.
Next year, I will move my hives to Wake Robin, and combine with the three hives there and hope for better luck!

11/7 Little River History Loop walk, Green Mountain Club:
This walk in Little River State Park (part of Mt. Mansfield State Forest) at the Waterbury Reservoir, was a blast. We walked past abandoned settlements, overgrown roads cemeteries and old farm sites. We had lunch at an old grave site. It is an easy hike about 3.5 miles, 900’ elevation gain. A good family outing. (This walk is written up on page 172 of your GMC 50 Hikes in Vermont - 6th edition). Showing maximum disrespect for their toiling trip leader, the photo below (taken by Uncle Phil H.) shows trip participants watching a squirrel chewing a nut, while Ted read an educational passage about the abandoned farmhouse just behind them....
During a plethora of visits to NYC this fall, occasionally work would interfere, but I was able to focus on quality South Indian food. That done, there was plenty of walking including to the new High Line park on the lower west side. A visit to the MOMA was a crowded highlight.
