One of the great things about having projects in the Adirondacks is I get a chance to do this when I can. I wonder if Seymour Dunn ever made this hike to Indian Head. He very well might have.

Help is still needed to locate RIT student Matthew Grant, who has been missing since Monday, Nov. 20. He was last seen wearing a green jacket (seen in the picture in this post) and blue jeans & driving a 2014 charcoal gray Jeep Cherokee w/ Michigan license plate ESR8141. /1

Caught the legendary Bruce Cockburn in Ithaca Saturday night at the hanger theater. A needed voice in these times. … Great set list and performance, especially for a 78 year old! 🇨🇦🍺🙏

Happy 150 Birthday to Donald Ross! Pretty sure I wouldn't be restoring his courses if I hadn't learned the game & worked on the crew at Shennecosset as a young lad. Looking forward to breaking ground on the Brook-Lea CC restoration next season -

The b&w rendering is Shennecossett in Groton, CT - aka Royal Shenny. It’s changed a lot since then unfortunately.
