I met up with Connie this morning at ten thirty a.m. at Price Chopper in Oneonta. It was a gorgeous spring day, but a bit chilly when we started out.

We drove to the end of the dirt road that leads to the Charlotte Creek Fishing Access area and walked in. We started down the path from the area where the fishermen part, but we were not able to continue because the pathway was flooded. We hiked around that area, and saw some old trees.

Then we went to the Oneonta Watershed area, which is adjacent to the area we were in. There is a very nice trail, which we took. It is short. On the way back we bushwhacked a bit to see the actual water. I took some pictures of an old stone wall, an huge old metal barrel, a white birch and also a picture looking down through the hemlocks to the watershed itself.

We had lunch at Gersters Family Market, and then Connie showed me the buildings behind the Farmhouse Restaurant which used to be part of the Emmons Farm years ago. Some of the buildings have been made into rental units. I took a bunch of pictures, the one I like best is the one of the fire bell.

Then we went to the Lettis Auction House and looked around, and then we called it a day.
