Hello Hikers!
Wednesday Sept 20
Road walk — farming area between Jacksonville and Perry City, town of Ulysses — with Mark
This is Taughannock Creek, quite a few miles upstream from the falls
This junkyard is famous in the neighborhood for the number of old cars tucked away in the weeds and bushes — there used to be as many as 6,000 — now there’s reportedly about 2,000 — this is an active business selling unusual auto parts
I was really struck by the charm of this Greek Revival-style farmhouse — turns out Susan L knows the owners

Hammond Hill SF north of Star Stanton Road, with Jack V
This house has been under construction for a while — seems to be finally finished — this has caused the town of Dryden highway department to improve a new length of Star Stanton Road — don’t know how this will impact parking for us in the future
One of the things I like about HHSF is that we sometimes get to see horses — almost didn’t happen this time, but then we passed these two while we heading home — I had to lean over in front of Tiger, who was driving, to get this shot as we drove by — very unpromising conditions, surprising the photo came out OK — the two riders are there but obscured by the horses
