Road Trip-Pixley Falls, Wetstone and Turbines

 On Monday Jim and I decided to play
hookey and we took a road trip. Our first
stop was at Pixley Falls State Park just South of Boonville. There were quite a few people there due to the beautiful weather and a "no school" day. Our next stop was Wetstone State Park just South of Lowville where we had planned on eating our picnic lunch by the babbleing brook. However, they had already closed most of this park so we had to settle for a table near the parking lot with a small creek nearby. This park was also quite busy with a lot of hikers.  After spending awhile here we headed into Lowville and had dessert
                                                        at "LLoyds of Lowville", a small diner that Jim has had on His 
                                                        "bucket list" for years. We then headed for home by way of Route
                                                         177 so we could check out the wind farm. They have put in a nice
                                                         observation center with information about the turbines. We had a 
                                                          nice day and just loved the spectacular weather.
