THANKSGIVING IN MASSENA :)
On the way up to Massena, Colleen and I stopped at Lake Ozonia to see the old camp. It was beautifully blanketed under a few inches of snow and being there brought back many happy memories. It is a shame that our family let this magical place go. It seems like another lifetime that we spent summer days on the lake and in the stone cabin.
The water was high, there is a hot tub out back, the deer, bear and frog are all still there as well as the chipmunk castle. The new porch on the front is an eyesore compared to the stone walls.
I took Colleen to Big Rock which now is on the edge of a clear cut powerline pathway.
The front dock between the glacially split boulder is still my favorite spot and we arrived at sunset with glassy smooth water. A magical place now consigned to memory :(
