New Hartford gets Scenic

Yesterday we drove out to the sticks for what we can only assume is a typical day in the life of New Hartford. We began with a lovely hike around Lake Mcdonough:

We ended up at the Saville Dam. There is a strict 'no face-sitting' rule at the dam:

You can really work up an appetite after a long hike! It was time for a gourmet country meal:

Recipe:
1 banana, sliced
1 jar Peter Pan peanut butter
1 box Ritz crackers
Combine and enjoy. Serve with a Reisling.
