Glimmerglass

Glimmerglass has History, Terrain with edible wildflowers though we didn’t partake because that would just be wrong, lots of birds and red squirrels, those precious chipmunks, deer and  toads we haven’t quite yet id because I forgot my amphibian-reptile book, the magnificent Lake Otsego, Recreation and BIG campsites in the Shade and Hot Water in the showers.  Let’s talk about the Quad-Athlon Pat and I accomplished today.  First we hiked up a mountain, ok admittedly probably a really small mountain, along a trail called “The Sleeping Lion” and we sung “in the Jungle…the Lion sleeps here…” We dragged our butts back to lunch and Pat, who I will refer to as Paddy for the rest the wayfarin journey had a power nap and told me I really need to learn how to accomplish that feat. He blew up the kayak and we paddled our way to a point and back seeing many small and big homes along the water. We have two minds about the homes. I will talk about this later in our journey.  The shallow part of the lake seems to be filled with one exotic aquatic plant and maybe another?  Not sure, my limnology days are so far behind me.  We got back from kayaking and decided to bike on our tandem to the swimming area.  Paddy swam out to the far line, it probably came up to his navel (he looked a little like a baby Beluga because he was so white.) Then I won that part of the race because I knew what to touch at the finish line.  We jumped back on the tandem and went through Beaver Pond trail and didn’t see any beaver…History is coming.  Think I will try that power nap.
