[rip]

Hi all.I took my Dad to a dr's appointment this morning in Cooperstown NY and while I was waiting I drove around and took some photos for y'all.Lake otsego is a very historic site.It's were General Clinton and his troops came thru during the Sullivan Clintion campain.It is also were the Susquehanna river gets it start.Is home to the baseball hall of fame,farmers museum,and the home site of the Cooper family.James fennimore Cooper called the lake Glimmerglas and it's the setting for many of his novels.I set up alot of tents in this area during the summer and have permission to detect the city parks and will be cheakin it out this spring.The photos are of lakefront park.I also whent to the farmers museum but they were closed for the season so I couldent get any photos.It's a replica of an early town and is pretty cool.If any of y'all ever get up this way be sure and cheak it out !

Hi Schoser,Great place to ice fish.Landlocked salmon,Otsego bass,trout walleye theres some nice ones in there.Just below the outlet there is a waterfall with a large pool that traps fish that have gone over the damn and you can see some big ole lunckers swimmin around in there ! There is no ice this year but In years past people used to race cars and trucks on the ice during there winter festival.

It reminds me of a park in the town where my house is in Canada. Ir looks a little too chilly for me at the moment though. Let me know when I the bikinis are back on the sand and maybe I'll pay you a visit.

Cheers,
