We had a great event of hiking and swimming scheduled, at the Lawrence Parks Cohocton Town Park, perfect for a hot, sunny, midsummer day.  The weather, at 4 PM, on Sunday, August 3, turned out to be anything but that.  About 8 hearty souls arrived, in the downpour, and conferred on Atlanta Back Rd., to avoid paying the $1.00 admission charge for the park.  Decision was unanimous that there was little motivation for hiking, under the conditions.

Gene and Georgia subsequently invited everyone to bring what they brought and convene for camraderie at their humble residence in beautiful downtown Wayland.  We enjoyed a good afternoon of dining and ST fellowship, well sheltered from the elements, and well enhanced by such items as Katherine’s delicious hot Italian soup, with sausage and vegetables, and Linda’s superb mozzerella and fruit kababs.

Undaunted ST troopers, Gene and Marty, are planning to offer this event again, in June, when there may also be enough water in the Cohocton River for a kayak venture.  Meanwhile, Springwater Trails is offering a substantial reward for information leading to the arrest and flogging of the ST member who offered margerine to Mother Nature.
