A little bit of October snow is so beautiful. My perception of snow will change by mid January, and I will think about how ugly it is :)

It was too wet to hunt, so went elk watching. It was snowing quite hard on Winslow Hill but I spotted these two horse riders. They were close to a mile away, but got them with the 300mm with 2x extender. I thought it made a cool winter scene.

CC Canoe Classic Access Area improvements

Randy Bailey and crew have been busy making improvements to the access area (across from the Emporium Country Club). The work will greatly enhance the traffic flow and relieve some of the race congestion during loading and unloading. It looks great!

Here is a shot of what the area looked like in 2008, followed by several photos of the site after improvements were made. Future plans include improved signage, landscaping, and a pavillion

Resolution Honors Emporium Man Killed in Action in Vietnam

HARRISBURG – The state House has unanimously approved a resolution honoring an Emporium native who was killed in action in the Vietnam War more than 40 years ago, said Rep. Martin Causer (R-Turtlepoint).The remains of Air Force Maj. Thomas Edward Clark were recently identified and will be buried in the family plot with Clark’s mother and father, Josephine and Otto Clark, on Saturday, Oct. 22 in Emporium.“It is an honor to pay tribute to this fallen soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country,” said Causer. “It is important that we bring all of our soldiers home, both to ensure proper burial and give closure to their families.”Gov. Tom Corbett has ordered the U.S. and Pennsylvania flags at the Capitol Complex and in Cameron County to be lowered to half-staff on Saturday in honor of Clark’s service.Clark was flying a Vietnam combat mission over Laos on Feb. 8, 1969, when his plane was hit by anti-aircraft artillery, burst into flames and crashed. The U.S. Air Force determined Clark was killed in action and posthumously promoted him to the rank of major. After several searches of the crash site over the last two decades, Clark’s remains were finally discovered.
