Quote of the Week

This quote was posted in the Adirondack Museum at Blue Mountain Lake (a great place to visit).  Thankfully we have not been greatly affected by such varmints.

"Blackflies, Mosquitoes and Punkies: a cosmopolitan police, detailed by Divine Providence to guard the great hunting park of the Republic from the incursions of cockney poachers and murderers of deer in summer.  Long may they wave!"
