Freeholders

We are freeholders for the first time in our lives! If any old friends are reading this and want to come visit the Adirondacks, we have an attached mother-in-law apartment we would love to get more use out of. Let us know!

Cole's Woods

I have seen several maps of Cole's Woods (Queensbury/Glens Falls) but all of them have some errors or omissions. So I made my own. Some of the paths are up to a dozen feet off, but they should all be correct relative to each other, with all intersections present. It includes all trails I could find (abandoned trails are dashed), and I distinguished singletrack from doubletrack by linewidth. Topo lines and parcel boundaries are in the background.

We have moved!

We have moved to upstate NY and are now living in the foothills of the Adirondacks. It is snowing!

Jonathan Edwards outlines

Sometimes it is hard to follow the train of the argument in Jonathan Edwards' books. I have put together the text and my outline side by side for these volumes so far:
