Vipers, Mastodons, Willy's D

An Impromptu Walk on Sunday along the Zambezi River in British Honduras spilled forth a plethora of riches. First Adam S. and sidekick Matthew L. uncovered mastodon bones, which, according to resident animal authority Dr. Jamie M., date back some seven billion years.

Next the intrepid explorers stumbled upon a river rattler, a very venomous viper, that chased our young ones, bit two of them (Molly J. and Elizabeth S.), but fortunately resident venomous viper authority Patrick L. was able to suck the venom from the youngsters' legs so we could continue our trek through the wilds.

Next we stumbled upon an ancient stainless steel deloren, which resident windbag Willy S. promptly declared his own.

And finally we gathered to break bread, and wind, before setting off for home and settling in for 12 consecutive hrs. of masters coverage.

Hacklebarney Park

As the economy bursts and budget cuts in the garden state bloom (including the closing of several state parks) one small gem remains constant: pristine Hacklebarney Park in Chester, NJ. My mom took me to Hacklebarney when I was just a tot, and now here comes Elizabeth along with chums Matthew, Gracyn, and Sophia.

Also on hand were Mrs. S., H. Santoro, G & B Byrnes, and Mr. & Mrs James Rudolph Vanderpoel of Hastings on the Hudson, NY.

Twas a fine hike on an early spring day. No one was hurt. No one fought. Life was good.
