We went down to Zoar Valley this weekend.

It must have been raining down south because the creek and the hills are a mudbath. I still swam in it. It felt so good.


We attempted to go down Point Peter but the water was too high at the bottom. So it was a climb right back up.





Lookin' skeptical

The best part of Zoar to me is the way the water flows over and fractures the shale. A mix of engineered looking edges and channels with worn and cracked stone. I could watch the water run all day.

If you need it, it's shredded in the abandoned building on Allen.

I don't know how this building is still nothing with everything else that changes around it.

Speculators and and flippers are the worst.

Fwendsday night bike ride took (e:terry) and I out to West Seneca. There were about 5 people on the ride

Down by the river, in a secret rail bridge spot.

And over to Pocketeer, I've heard about it but this was my first time. It was like a giant adult Putt Putt, just as run down. Pool tables, pinball machines, ski balls, and cheap beer.

(e:terry) kicked my ass at skiball. I think he won pool with Nathan too. Where was the hustle when you need it?

chomp that pole (e:terry)



On the way home half of us inhaled a pizza and purple gatorade.

The floating chamber place on Allen has an advertisement for this foot bath. Sticking your skanky feet in this water and turning it brown cures your flatulence. Ions you know? It's science.

Also they have a pair of red glasses said to cure autism. Only $20.

Back to the quarry, this time a large poutine and cheesesticks.

The water is warmer than ever. When the sun came out from the clouds, you could see 15 feet down. Maybe that's enough to see the otter known as (e:terry).

I still have not seen this alleged pirate ship..

Along the friendship trail we passed re-enactors at the fort. They were intensely reenacting the siege of Fort Erie.

Did you know we could have had the Canadian side? Maybe it's good, it'd probably be Lancaster right now.

(e:paul) wants to do the re-enactment the next year, preferably as a stable boy.
